G'day,
I've written an ASIO device driver which I want to use as input for a SynthMaker executable.
For output I'd like to use a different driver (preferable a different ASIO device, but the standard Windows DirectSound will do fine).
My problem with the output:
- when I select a different ASIO driver, the selected ASIO driver for the input is changed to the same one
- when I selected a DirectSound driver, my ASIO driver on the input gets de-selected (and vice versa).
That completely stops my development.
Thanks for your time and understanding.

Hi Tom,
ASIO can only be used for one device at a time, so this is why when you change output driver SM automatically switches the input to reflect this.
Also because ASIO connects to the hardware at a low level you can't use DirectSound at the same time.
Sorry if this rains on your plans 🙁

You mean when I write a (C++) application which opens 2 different ASIO drivers (for 2 different hardware devices of course) the OS only lets me use one at the same time?

I thought that was the case yes and so that's what happens in SM but if you've managed to get round it in your own application then I must be wrong 🙂

Its possible to write an ASIO driver that uses two sepearte pieces of hardware but the syncing is a little iffy unless the hardware was designed for the job
Check ASIO 4 All
