Latency Compensation

Since ASIO4ALL does not have sufficient knowledge of the underlying hardware/driver architecture, it can only guess the actual latencies involved. With these sliders you can compensate for the latencies unknown to ASIO4ALL such that recordings in your sequencer software are properly aligned with the rest.

Note: In multi-device-setups the largest respective value of all devices will be used. Therefore, if different devices have different inherent latencies, audio placement will not be accurate for some devices!

  • Force WDM driver to 16 bit

    Force WDM driver to 16 bit

    This option only has an effect if the supported bit depth of the WDM driver is larger than 16, but less than 24. Some devices report e.g. 20 Bits resolution but cannot actually be opened for more than 16 Bits resolution. Should this be the case on your system, this option provides a workaround.

    Optimization hints

    Playing software synths live In this scenario, you do not need audio inputs. Therefore, you best disable them all, which normally will provide you with a better stability at very small ASIO buffer sizes, or allow smaller buffer sizes in the first place. Further, you should also disable all audio outputs you do not really… more
