ASIO1-Flt / ASIO2 vs Sonar6 PE

[AlexS]

Hi everybody

Just got two very nice boards (Pro and Project - 21 DSP in total) and trying to set it up with Sonar6 PE on E6600 / dp965lt / 2G Corsairs / WinXP SP2 machine.
Im reading the manual to avoid stupid questions, however..there's always something that doesnt work at the begining
So,be indulgent if Im asking obvious stuff...

OK, hardware seems working smoothly, no problems so far. But, the best possible driver that works is ASIO1-32 Dest/Source 64 which is detected by Sonar as 24 bit driver. However that'd be nice to have some better if possible, but neither ASIO1-Flt Dest/Source 64 nor ASIO2 work

Need your advise..

well, sonar doesn't do 32bit float, so it just sees 24bit. 24bit is fine for anything anyway, just use that.

garyb, thanks for an input
I thought so... then it might be better to use ASIO1-24 to save some PCI channels? it limits to 24bit anyways... or not??

[garyb]

yeah, sure. i use the asio2 modules, but asio1 will work great too. no need to use the 32flt.

hi,

i have the same problem, i have Sonar 6 PE with E6600, win XP SP2, and Scope 4.

in fact, i can use only ASIO 1 or 2 in 16 bit, the ASIO 2-24 doesn't work with Sonar (and it is the same with ASIO FLT)....


is it normaly?

may i change some options in Sonar?

thanks a lot

[garyb]

asio2 24 certainly works with sonar.

are you changing them with sonar open?
you must have asio modules in place with the proper number of i/os in place before opening sonar.....

Thank you GaryB, it works now very well....

Sonar 6 PE does 32 bit float - unless I'm mistaken

[garyb]

ah yes, ok! my bad. thanks K!
