AuthorTopic: Audio setup / Sequencer issues....

Perhaps some of you friendly cats can help with a couple of questions. I've searched the forums for similar issues, but drew a blank. I also understand that there is an update pending which may clear these up:

1. In standalone mode, how do I route audio to my soundcard? I can't hear a thing. I'm missing something very simple perhaps? When I click on the 'edit' button I see this:



No audio devices are selected, and I can't see to access any option. I'm using a Creative Audigy Platinum running on kxproject drivers. ASIO is installed and works with fruity and other hosts, yet when I click the ASIO button nothing happens.

2. Also in standalone, I am unable to insert a VST into a sequencer track. I've followed NicFit's sequencer tutorial to the point where Drumatic is inserted. I right-click, select a VST - and nothing happens!
I tried to do the same using VST mode in FL Studio - and it works fine....

...except when I close Fruity - I get several variations of the following:




...finished off with a 'Runtime error 216 at 00039c00'

...but ONLY after I insert a VST into a sequencer track. In other situations, there's no problem.


Cheers and ta for any help or clarifications....

Two things I can think of that might help...

1)be sure wherever you extract EXT, that you also extract the "ASIO" subfolder. I know other people are using the KX Drivers with success.

2)Try it from a fresh boot, just to be sure another application isn't hogging your audio drivers.

That is only because you need an audio card active to load/use plugins. Once you sort why your cards not working, then you should have no problems loading plugins.

this may be a bug with ext, but it's a work in progress Wink ...I occassionally get errors on closing EXT also after using certain plugins, but it's not always reproducable, and so far hasn't lost any of my work.

Thanks NicFit (and for the tutorials - good work! - it's what made me decide to buy).

The kx drivers are working fine for everything else. I've rebooted many times.

The asio file is in the same folder as the executable - I also tried putting it in a 'ASIO' subfolder - but nothing....


I thought perhaps that if I set the sample rate to 48000 that this would solve it, but it causes an "exception in module...standalone.exe'



Any further suggestions?

Thanks...

standalone.exe
../driver/audio/ASIO.dll

The ASIO.dlll file should be two subfolders deep below the standalone.exe - in "driver/audio/"

The ZIP file should have created those subfolders and put that file there, unless you had your zip program set to ignore subfolder.

EDIT: A diagram!
