Do you use the ASIO Drivers or the NI drivers?

What are your latency settings when using ASIO?

When using NI Drivers?

  1. NI Drivers.. ASIO does not perform that well in my laptop with Audio8.
  2. 4.2ms latency. Have tried 2ms, but every once in a while I can hear it crackling.
  3. When using ASIO I have the crackling even at 10ms and also a lot of hiss/pops.

i keep mine @ 5 or 10ms depending where i play

Thanks guys. I figured there might be something weird with ASIO. I’ll stick with the NI drivers. Thanks for the info!

I seem to be having a weird problem with my new Audio 8 card. I set everything up. The card seems to work… then if I’m messing with settings or switch between the two NI drivers or to ASIO then all of a sudden I’ll have no sound. The track will play… I can see it scrolling, but I’ll have no sound whatsoever. I searched the NI Forum but didn’t see any issues like it.

This may be a dumb question, so apologies in advance, but how do I know which drivers I’m using? I don’t ever remember seeing a choice when I installed on my computer initially. I’m on a MBP running 10.4.

If you install ASIO4ALL, then in Traktor you’ll see an ASIO Driver listed under Audio Setup → Soundcards. Your ASIO driver has configuration options that allow you to select which of your sound cards to use.

Now for me, I use Audio 8 DJ and, for some reason, that card is listed twice in Soundcards. No idea why. When I had the M-Audio FastTrak Pro, it was the same deal. I don’t know what the difference is between them. Perhaps someone can explain that to me?

NI drivers, I have to agree.
