MX-1 and Asio4All messing with PC audio
Posted: 21:07, 3 December 2017
Struggling a bit here so hoping someone else had the same issue.
I'm using the MX-1 as my main mixer and audio interface. Running Ableton Live 9.7.5 on a Windows 8 64 bits PC. Up to a week ago, I used to use the MX-1's driver with Ableton but this was giving me huge latency and audio drop-off issues so I tried the Asio4All driver instead.
Huge difference in terms of performance. Latency is down to under 10ms and no more cracks and pops. Perfect.
BUT... now my issue lays with the main PC sounds. Before, I was using the PC track on the MX-1 as my PC's output (tracks 17/18) and everything was fine. But since I installed the Asio4All drivers, I'm always running into issues. Usually, my sounds come out fine as usual until I launch Live, and then nothing. No more sounds... Tried different routing configs, even disabled the PC track (17/18) in Live's inputs and outputs, thought that'd help if I dedicated this track only to my PC sounds but nothing will do. Everything is fine coming out of Live though, it's sounds outside of Live I'm struggling with here.
What am I doing wrong? Is this a recurring issue with Asio drivers? This solved all my issues in Live so would hate to have to go back to my previous config, but I need to find a way to route my PC sound somehow through the MX-1...
