ASIO Error: "Failed to open the audio device KX Asio"?

jago25_98 · Feb 9, 2003, 04:59 PM

At least it only happens when trying to use ASIO.

This problem is common for me on Win2000.

Doesn't happen on win98, haven't tried on winXP, but I think it might be ok on XP if I had it.

I have a hunch this is win2k specific.

Is this a common problem/bug?

I runWin98 and I have the Same problem!

no, this should not happen under Win2k/Win98/WinXP

please, make sure you've installed the driver correctly
please, read 'readme.html' file and follow installation guides available on our site and in the help file

FIX IS THIS:-

Control Panel --> Sound Settings --> Click both Advanced tabs setting HARDWARE ACCELERATION to `FULL`

This is the 2nd time I've forgotton that this is the fix to that problem!

Q: "I get the error message "ASIO Error: 'Failed to open the audio device KX Asio'" How do I fix?

A: You need to turn on hardware acceleration for your soundcard. To do this go

Control Panel --> Sound Settings --> Click the top Advanced tab ---> set both HARDWARE ACCELERATION levels to `FULL`

With thanks,
