ok last help thread I promise! you must be getting sick of me haha!
I DID try and search & although I found lots of Asio related things, the error message I searched for didn't come up.
I get a 'unable to open sound device!' message. I'm using an M-audio 192 audiophile I think it's called. and Asio works with other stuff I have.
Its known for ASIO to only allow one connection to it at a time.
Are you perhaps using another audio program that has the ASIO connection opened? If so, it can block MODPlug from initialising the ASIO soundsystem.
My advice would be to close all sound related applications except OpenMPT, and then try to set the sound to Asio.
If that still doesn't work, make sure that you set it to the correct settings, like 44.1 khz, 16 bit stereo. Even if you prefer other settings, getting it to work should be your first priority, tweaking it from there, step by step, is the next one. :)
Your second advice regarding bitrate is nice, but useless. The soundcard (or rather, the sound driver) tells the application which bitrate it has to work in. So there shouldn't be any bitrate problems, the card chooses the bitrate (e.g. 32bit) itself.

I mentioned just to be on the safe side X)
Safe.... from Jojo :D? You gotta be kiddin' me. :D

This certainly isn't a useless advice -- changing these settings can indeed make the ASIO work.
The sampling rate, yes. but the bit depth shouldn't be an issue. I tried to set it to 16bit anyway; it will be reset to 32bit on my ASIO device.
i can do ASIO on 16bit.
That's because your device supports it then. :)
oh, ic ^^
have you tried :
http://www.asio4all.com/
?
it even gets Vista to work mostly right.
it gets vista to work? unbelievable... :O
:lol:
yep
My Quad is a Vista 64 machine. Sonar would not see the on board audio until I installed ASIO 4 All
I ended up putting a Audigy in the box as well and ASIO4ALL got that to work properly as well.
Vista does suck when it comes to supporting real audio programs. just sucks.
I can understand that they changed the driver model - but when programs, like Sonar, that are written expressly for Vista have trouble... come on.
On the other hand I have www.virtualbox.org an XP pro install running in a virtual machine that is really fast and owrks great - even with streaming video/sound it only takes up about 35% of the CPU.
My install of Windows 98 for Fast Tracker II compatibility didn't go so well though... - I'm trying dosbox next.
Yep. FTII definitely needs real dos.
Asio 4 all is quite good.
on a good win98 setup (read: with a real SB/GUS card), FT2 and IT will also run smoothly.
yes... with a real one.
There is apparently a flaw in win 98 that makes it run excessive instructions that affects virtual box. I found out after that there is a fix for it.
None of the computers I have now would I want to devote to Win98. The one that I had, an IBM thinkpad 600x with 500 MHz Pentium III and 327 megs ram and 20 gig hard drive, I donated to a ferret shelter. Her husband has cancer and she can use it when she is at his bedside or in the hospital.
I didn't really look into putting win 98 on it. I only just this week started thinking FT 2 again.
Unless can you dual boot dos??
My Soundcard is the M-Audio Audiophile 24/96. Same issue.
I remember reading that someone used the older drivers for it and it worked fine in Modplug. Personally I just use the DirectX.
Unfortunately Sonar couldn't use directx. Open mpt has no problem yes. But I like a musical staff for classical music which is what I mostly write now. A tracker is best for ambient with samples though. I tried FT2 in dosbox on the quad - I got sound but it acted really goofy.
I gave up and used Open MPT
I still find mpt to act strange when entering notes etc. but maybe its all about what you are used to.
I'm posting the piece here in free music in a couple minutes.
