help. recording volume problem. asio driver related.

[jimmys69]

Just to repeat...you're not actually using ASIO. You're using a very clever piece of software that makes your DAW think your MME device is an ASIO one--but, down deep, it's still MME.

Ditto/DITTO.

yes there is a control panel but there is no option for adjusting the volume there.

Reread my post. I said volume adjustments done on the digital signal won't solve your problem but that if you can switch off mic boost in ASIO4ALL it might fix it.

Best solution: get an interface made for what you're doing and stop trying to force the built in sound to do what it isn't designed to do.

ok...thank you everybody for all the help.

but i still dont understand why asio wont work for me the way it does for others.

First off, it's not ASIO. It's a bit of software that makes MME devices show up as ASIO in your DAW.

Second, ASIO4ALL is a very clever bit of software that works with ALMOST every bit of hardware out there...but not every piece. It has an amazing success rate but there are occasional problems as reported on the ASIO4ALL forums. It might be worth registering there and reporting your issues in detail...the guy who writes ASIO4ALL is pretty responsive and tries to help as much as he can. He might be able to give some advice or include your problems in his next update.

Bottom line though, a basic proper USB interface with real ASIO drivers can be had starting at about $60 and will sort out all your problems.

right...thanks!!!

[me_101]

while i'm at it, is there any other software/driver similar to asio4all out there?

i'm no professional.i'm just a girl who uploads song covers on youtube. so buying an interface is my last resort.

[jimmys69]

Buying an interface should be your first resort. Sorry, but ASIO4All is the best and likely only thing of its kind. Lexicon Alpha, $60. Just find a way to do it. You will then understand that you are wasting time trying to make something that is not capable of working, work for you...

this is off topic but what is realtek ?

this is off topic but what is realtek ?

A brand of sound card in many computers.

[Bobbsy]

It's probably the most common sound "card" these days...though not actually a card, just about a square inch of IC circuitry on the motherboard.
