I have not tried MP in several months as I keep waiting for an announcment to be made that says something to the affect of "MP now supports ASIO throughout!" It seems that all of the ASIO and bit perfect support is only in the internal BASS player for music files and external palyers for videos. Is that correct or am I missing the boat here?
I have been using ASIO4ALL with my current setup (MS MCE) for some time now for bit perfect playback. I would like to be able to do the same thing using MP with all of its default internal players (movies and music). Is that possible? If not, is it planned? Using the internal player seems to be more seamless with MP and if it just had bit perfect playback... I could enjoy it once again.
Will the soundcard drivers mentioned support the chaintech cards? I do not see it on the list and was not sure which chipset is used on those.
Not sure what you are after. The BASS engine which is used internally by MP and is seamlessly integrated supports ASIO for music playback. What is the point in getting ASIO for movies. I'm passing AC3/DTS through to an external Receiver via s-pdif so this is bitperfect otherwise it would not work. For movies MP uses direct show filters so MP's capabilities here are dependent on the capabilites of the filter you are using.
