  Quick audio question

  Posted by Sam Walker on July 25, 2021 at 1:35 pm

  Looking at audio device type under Preferences / Audio Device, I have an option for cmasiopxPCIX, which is probably my audio card as its Asio based.
  Are there any advantages in choosing that over Microsoft Sound mapper, or Direct Sound Surround Mapper?

  Also, what have people found works best between the MS sound mapper and Direct Sound Surround?

  Thanks

  Yeah, mixed bag.

  I’ve a Presonus External Audio box. Ok. Well PreSonus uses ASIO Drivers and I’ve not found issues with it. I have found issues using the options you refer to. But, and again, here’s the thing: VegasPro is a bully when it comes to sharing-out ASIO drivers to “other” Audio s/w and audio devices, it will literally require you to reconfigure your Audio Settings. It’s taken me 10 years to understand the symptoms. The cause? Dunno. Will there be a cure? I doubt it.

  So, as I said, mixed-bag experiences. I’ve stayed with ASIO Drivers for my VP Editing, I have PreSonus external AudioBox, a PreSonus FaderPort8 and an M-Audio Keyboard. They all work nicely.

  Keep us informed. ?
