For example, if USB streaming mode is set to standard then the minimum ASIO buffer depth is 4 milliseconds which corresponds to 176 samples at 44100 Hz and 384 samples at 96000 Hz. ASIO can work without dropouts only if the following condition is met:ĪSIO buffer size (in ms) >= USB streaming buffer depth (in ms)īy convention, the ASIO buffer depth is specified in terms of samples which creates another dependency on the current sample rate. However, because the ASIO buffer layer is driven by the USB streaming layer there is a dependency on the USB Streaming Mode setting.
Asio4all usb audio driver driver#
The ASIO buffer is used to exchange sample data between the driver and an application (DAW). The latest 3.20 driver allows ‘automatic’ samples. The downside is that such a setting will generate high latency at low sample rates, for example at 44.1kHz 8192 samples are 185 milliseconds, to which 8 milliseconds must be added.Īll of this is avoided if using the WASAPI audio subsystem.
If using 768kHz sample rate (or DSD512 or DSD256 vis DoP) 8192 samples are around 10 milliseconds, so for correct operation at this sample rate the ASIO buffer setting just be the maximum 8192 and streaming mode must be relaxed (8mS). The USB streaming mode sets the following USB buffer length:
Under all conditions, the ASIO Buffer must be larger than the USB buffer, or dropouts or other strange effects may happen. The ASIO buffer is listed in samples, in other words, how long it depends on the sample rate. Each steaming mode increases the USB buffer, which is set in X milliseconds.
