Can't select Digidesign ASIO driver in XP
Here's what I have:
Relatively new computer with XP, Digi 001 connected, installed the latest ASIO drivers from the Digidesign website (Audio drivers 7.0 and ASIO 6.1.1), rebooted. Digi 001 now shows up in Device Manager under sound devices. It says the device is working properly. However, when I go to Sounds and Audio devices under Control Panel, the Digi is not an option. When I try to select the ASIO from Samplitude (I don't use Pro Tools) it says Loading Failed, Bad Device. I tried disabling the soundcard that came with the system (RealTek 97 or something like that) and now the menus in Sounds and Audio are grayed out. Does anyone know how I can get the ASIO going? Thanks in advance. |

Thanks in advance. You can't select ASIO 'anything' in the MS Mapper. You select an ASIO dricver directly from the supporting application. geoff |

Can't select Digidesign ASIO driver in XP
Well, you CAN select the Digidesign Digi 001 (I believe with 4 different options for each set of channels) from the MS Sound and Audio Devices app, and you have to if that's where you want your sound to output. It does not give me the Digi as an option even though the Digi appears to be recognized and working in Device Manager. I tried selecting ASIO/Digi in Samplitude but it fails. Which doesn't surprise me since it isn't in the system sound options itself. We tested the cable and there's nothing wrong with it. The Phantom and power lights appear on the Digi box. The Digi option should be there even if I don't have the box connected, right? I don't recall. Any troubleshooting ideas?

Normally when you install drivers for a device it will install both ASIO (if supported) and WDM Windows drivers. The WDM drivers are the only ones you will see in the Sounds and Audio Devices panel, and are the only ones most (non-ASIO) apps can see. You generally select ASIO drivers directly from the supporting \application. That there is no WDM driver visible, and the ASIO doesn't seem to work suggests to me that the driver install might have not completed correctly. Or is the Digi 001 box not normally available to non-Digi applications ? Wouldn't surprise me given their normal restrictive business model.... geoff |

The WDM drivers are the only ones you will see in the Sounds and Audio Devices panel, and are the only ones most (non-ASIO) apps can see. You generally select ASIO drivers directly from the supporting \application. On my previous computer, in Sounds and Audio it would show me Digidesign Digi 001 and another option for the factory installed soundcard (what you mean by WDM?). Yes, you do choose whether to use ASIO in third-party apps, but they wouldn't work if the setting in Sounds and Audio didn't match. So, I can select ASIO in my tracking program, but since there isn't even that option on the system end, it gives me an error message. That there is no WDM driver visible, and the ASIO doesn't seem to work suggests to me that the driver install might have not completed correctly. I disabled the factory installed audio driver over the course of troubleshooting and so that's why I say the option was grayed out. Enabled or no, it still won't let me use the Digi. The install process was flawless. I also tried uninstalling, rebooting, swiitching the soundcard to another PCI slot so it recognized it as a new device, reinstalled the driver, had no problems, said it was successful....still, nothing. Or is the Digi 001 box not normally available to non-Digi applications ? Wouldn't surprise me given their normal restrictive business model.... You can use the box with any other program that supports ASIO - you just can't use ProTools software with anything other than Digidesign hardware. I'm wondering if the soundcard or box are damaged somehow - though there's no real indication that they are.. Or my new PC is incompatible somehow. besides wiping my PC and loading a fresh copy of XP, I can't think of anything else to do except try installing it on a friend's computer....or finding someone with a Dgii 001 who would let me switch out the hardware to troubleshoot. Anything else I could try before I go through all that? |

Interesting...I just got a message saying the driver for the Digi 001 was preventing the computer from going into standby...not related to my problem, but perhaps a clue? Try rolling back to an older driver maybe? |

Windows does noty itself sopprt ASIO drivers, and will never be listed as an option in the Control Panel device selector.

Anything else I could try before I go through all that? May be something from the disabling that you did. Most unlikely card crook, pc incompatibilty (though vaguely possible - try another PCI slot preferably not adjacent to AGP slot). Reinstalling XP would be like an engine change to cure a flat tyre. I suggest you uninstall all the Digi drivers and software, remove the device from Device Manager, and physically remove the card. Then do a re-boot cycle without the Digi, checking no traces remaining on the computer. Then shut down and start fresh. But |
