- if I am using SPDIF pass thought to my receiver. Is useful to install this ASIO plugin?

Wel it might be. Depends a bit on what kind of material you want to play and what kind of audio device you have.

- if you install ASIO4ALL. Is still useful to install Pure Audio plugin?

Yep, ASIO4ALL is just an ASIO device driver and doesn't play anything by itself. The PureAudio plugin can use that driver.

Hi,

I have an Sigmatech onboard card (that I don't use) and an external Soundblaster Live! 24Bit (that I use with digital passthrough). When I try to use ASIO for the SB card, I get an unhandled exception. So I figured, fine, I'll try the ASIO4All drivers. Installed and set it up (using the "offline setup" ) to use my SoundBlaster with the ASIO4All drivers. Yet, when I enter the PureAudio plugin configuration, and choose the ASIO4All, the onboard card is selected, and if I choose to configure ASIO4All from the plugin, I can't disable the onboard card and choose the SB one.

I have to go into the Windows Control Panel and disable the Sigmatech card (probably a good thing anyway) and then re-enter the PureAudio configuration. Now the SB card is selected. So this is perhaps a bug I've found?

How to check ASIO work?

I welcome,
I am trying to start playing DTS Audio.
I installed AC3Filter what it caused that WMP was play files correctly.
But in MP 1.0 only a noise is heard. So I installed and I configured ASIO, but the effect without changes in MP .
I suspect that ASIO isn't working and files still are being played through BASS player.
How to check whether ASIO is working during playing of audio files in MP?
What can be a reason of my problems?

I'm greeting,
MariuCh

The logs will tell you if BASS is used or not.
The cause you hear hiss is that you do not have bitperfect playback at the moment and
on DTS even the slightest resampling will lead to invalid packets.
You also said nothing about you setup so hard to give any advise.

here are a couple of ideas to play with in the plugin.
-you can volume level. must be 100%
-you can check fading in/out time is set to 0.
-gapless playback is selected
-define the khz signal going out. 32-197khz or something
-upmixing/downmixing is disabled.

Thank you for help.
Actually helped presenting options SPDIF on 44,1 kHz and setting the volume on 100%

I still noticed other problem. At playing DTS material and after rewinding the file, sound isn't coming back - the amplifier has a problem with identifying the signal and there is silence. Helps only press the Start button again and playing the file from the beginning.

I've got an Asus HDAV1.3 and the new version is working nicely for me except...it keeps stopping playback after a few songs.
It plays one or more song and then stops, I manually start he next song and it plays one or more songs again then stops.

If you could fix that I would be very happy with this plugin.

If I need to supply any logs or whatever just let me know what you need.

Thanks,

I presume you are talking about playback of mp3 files only? Thats what I had. You can try unselecting .MP3 in the pureadio plugin. This way the standard bass engine will play the mp3's. This works better for me.
Also, you can try a different bit setting. Use 16bit instead of 24. I thought this helped me as well with this.

No, happens with cd playback aswell.
