ASIO support

This driver release includes full ASIO 2.0 support. The WDM ASIO driver includes a number of

improvements over the VxD-based ASIO driver:

• Rewritten for maximum performance – audio latencies should be improved.

• Supports mixing older and newer cards in the same ASIO application – you can now

run Layla20 and Layla24 at the same time

• Only shows available channels– if another program is using an input or output,

Cubase will still run and not give you the annoying “No ASIO driver error.”

Help! I don’t see all of my outputs or inputs.

When you run Cubase, you may not see some of your outputs. This is probably due to the fact

that another program is using them. The most likely culprit is the Microsoft wavetable

synthesizer, which is being opened by Cubase as a MIDI output device. Exit Cubase and run the

“Setup MME” program. Select “Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth” and click the “Set Inactive”

button. Run Cubase again.

If your outputs still don’t show up, you may have some other software that’s doing the same thing.

Look in the “Setup MME” program for other programs that may be grabbing audio outputs or

inputs. In addition, see what other audio software you have running.

Why is my first input monitor always muted when I run Cubase?

This is because we support ASIO 2.0 Direct Monitoring. Direct Monitoring gives Cubase control

over the hardware monitors. When Cubase starts up, it uses DirectMonitoring to mute that

monitor.

We realize that this is annoying. As far as we can tell the concept behind Cubase is that you

should have all your monitors muted at first and then enable them within Cubase in the Channel

Mixer window as you prepare to record tracks, etc.

If you don’t like this behavior, you can always go to Options/Audio Setup/System…., click on

“ASIO Control Panel” and uncheck the box labeled “Enable ASIO 2.0 Direct Monitoring”. This will

cause our ASIO driver to reject any Direct Monitoring commands and prevent the mute on

startup. Of course, it also means that you can’t use Direct Monitoring.
