ASIO1-Flt / ASIO2 vs Sonar6 PE

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 :evil:
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??

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

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.....

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