ASIO problems with new Windows 10 updates

Post by mskele » Tue Jan 16, 2018 1:35 pm

Windows 10 just did a massive set of updates on my new Lenovo 720 laptop, and as a result ASIO4ALL no longer works properly. I cuts in and out and has a big distortion problem with keyboard input (Yamaha P-115). It has also re-introduce a problem with no video sound when ASIO is chosen as the device. Anybody else getting this? I can switch to windows audio, but the I get the annoying lag when playing the keyboard. Who would be the people to fix this, Playground, ASIO4ALL, or Windows?

Correction: I ONLY get audio on ASIO, but the piano is horribly distorted when it works at all.

Can you workaround by not using the PC to generate the MIDI audio at all? Personally I find all of the PC based audio selections annoyingly laggy and slow. I just let my Yamaha play through its speakers or else use my open earbud headphones. I turn the piano volume down to zero in the Playground Sessions app (Edit>User Settings>Volume) and only have the PS accompaniment music come out the laptop speakers.

I know you said that Windows Audio didn't work for you, but I find that its the best of a bad lot (Surface Pro running the latest Windows 10). If you haven't already checked, there is a drop down box in Edit>User Settings>Audio Devices>Device where you have to select your sound card after choosing Windows Audio. Make sure that hasn't become unselected.
