ASIO4ALL Crackles With Wavelength Audio Brick


Hi,

Has anyone installed asio4all and experience it generates soft crackles every 10 min or so? I selected the USB Audio Device (I use a USB DAC Wavelength Brick) and I made sure that the "Always resample 44Hz" box is checked but it still hear these annoying crackles. I use iTunes. Before installing asio4all, this didnĀ“t happen.

I don't know what latency compensation is either, nor the proper settings for asio4all. Gordon Rankin from Wavelength recommends using it, since he argues Windows audio data gets mucked before going to the USB port. From his site:

"Windows has a terrible little problem called the K-Mixed. It basically is a component of Windows that mucks with the data before it goes out the USB port. To fix that problem there is a little free program called ASIO4ALL.com that replaces the K-Mixer and sends out unaltered data to the USB Port.Ounce you have installed the USB DAC through Windows setup wizard. Now install ASIO4ALL and select the DAC using it's utility."

Thanks for your help.

Get a Macintosh. Life is short.
Mac, via USB to Bel Canto DAC3 and monoblocs ...
30 second set-up -- maybe less.
Rivals or betters a $3k CD player. Done! Move on!
Groove to the tunes, before you croak, man. ;-)
Seriously, an iMac is about $1000, 120 GB hard drive,
best USB audio on the planet, 17" monitor built in,
no fans, and will run Windoze in emulation or from
reboot. Isn't this a no-brainer, Windoze devotee or not?
