If you using WASAPI make sure "Exclusive mode" is set to OFF

WASAPI has not been working with bitwig since the start for me. Wish it did because on win I think the only other option is asio, which always robs sound from other programs, right?

not all the time, depends on what asio you're using if its asio4all, then by all means it'll restrict audio access to other stuff.

Yeah it's asio4all, my mackie blackjack drivers don't work well on win. Thanks.

np :), I've had my share of asio4all probs, its a pain sometimes.

may be it's time for an upgrade check out focusrite's scarlett range,
they're affordable and I doubt you'll be having any of those issues.

Oddly Ogopogo, I've been using WASAPI from the start. I got better results than running the sound module ASIO.

I stopped using ASIO4ALL years ago. Way too many hiccups.

Using a firewire Edirol FA-101.

In case it helps, these are my settings (my system is below in sig):
Audio System: Windows WASAPI
Input Device: Line In FA-101
Output Device: FA-101 Out 1
Sample Rate: 44100.0 HZ
Buffer Size: 256
(checked) Exclusive Mode.

Maybe something in there that will help you. :shrug:

Hope it does :tu:

Happy Musiking!

Well you did inspire me to mess around some more with the settings just now and I found that it will work pretty unpredictably. On my mac mini I have 2 options for input device: the digital ins and mackie interface ins, and 3 options for output: digital, interface, and onboard speaker. I found that some of these will work, and some combinations will play nice but not others, and exclusive mode being on or off is a factor. But the weirdest thing was that after spending some time experimenting with switching the ins and outs and turning on and off exclusive mode, I went back to using the interface for both ins and outs and for the first time it worked. I had tried it with exclusive mode on and off and it never worked. I had exclusive off this time and confirmed it was working by playing a youtube video while bitwig was playing. Then I closed and reopened bitwig and the same settings wouldn't work again. :shrug:

Oh sorry!

Isn't technology a wonderful thing?

WHEN IT WORKS :cry:

Also didn't realize you are on Mac else I wouldn't have made the post.

Still, glad to hear I inspired you to investigate :D

You'll get things working for you I am sure :tu:

Happy Musiking!
