    Just a thought (because I really don’t know anything specifically about your particular setup).

    When I installed my USB keyboard, I had to choose which USB port I wanted it installed to. I always have to use the same one, and I got a warning message that said I wouldn’t be able to use other midi keyboards on that port.

    Maybe it’s something like that messing you up.

    no… does not matter on which port I plug it in… It never works 🙁

    I may be totally wrong about this, but my own experiences and everywhere else I come across the same two things:

    1.) It’s always the Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth (which happens to be a Roland product, if you ever wondered);

    2.) The ASIO4ALL doesn’t like YOU, doesn’t like your soundcard; is just having a really bad day; its dialog window will not close or it refuses to close in the system tray.

    I used to wish someone would kindly offer as freeware an ASIO with very low latency that worked with any and all soundcards and devices that don’t require an extremely specialized hookup,

    @telenator:

    1) Microsoft GS Wavetbale Synth is deactivated!!

    2) I know that ASIO does not like all soundcards… but why then it is working in VST host? (that’s a program to test VSTs & you can choose audio drivers too of course)… with the same settings..

    Some very good questions you have there. That’s kind of why I posted what I did. I don’t know the answers to either, but It almost always is some kind of strange incompatability regarding the soundcard and whatever else is going on. Also, the audio processing often figures into this. This area is sometimes the weak link on computers. What’s worse, sometimes it’s all integrated in the circuit so there’s no trying other soundcards and so on. The best way I’ve solved these sorts of problems is by process of elimination, by finding out what’s NOT causing your troubles, one item at a time. If I think of what else it might be, I’ll repost.

    Okay It seems to be NOT a driver problem..
    Because I downloaded Podium Full Version Demo…
    and ASIO worked without ANY PROBLEMS!!

    And the error message with my midi keyboard did not occur!!
    Unfortunatley in the demo my VST plugins cannot be used :((
    I can scan through the selected folders.. and podium even finds them.. but for whatever reason I cant chose them at source… like before… so unfortunately I cant test if my keyboard really works.. but I guess it will work!

    ….
    But really strange that there are also some other programs where asio does not work… (Traktor, MiniHost,…)

    tell me if you have any suggestions & thoughts!

    thanks!

    I compared preferences… but they are equal…
    except the multiprocessing & rewire service..
    but even If I turn this one off on the demo… asio & keyboard do still work!

    I’ve been trying to help CDLMonline with this, and I had no luck earlier. I could’ve messed around reinstalling drivers, but I didn’t. It’s strange; essentially, it’s like the signals and/or setup of his audio/MIDI devices isn’t getting through properly.

    It’s even stranger that it works on the Podium demo and not Free. I’m assuming this may have to do with the demo being a later version?

    CDLMonline, I’m going to be a pain, and ask if you couldn’t try installing either the latest driver for your audio card (here is a list that might help), trying to get one for the exact model you have, or if you have the latest, actually trying an earlier driver version, if you can, for your RealTek chip. I would recommend before installing any new or old version, uninstalling the version already installed, and also uninstalling ASIO4ALL, and then once the new driver is installed, installing ASIO4ALL, and also restarting the computer before trying it.

    Other than this, I’m at a loss for why two versions of Podium work differently, and VSThost works but Minihost and Traktor don’t. :S

    yes It’s really crazy that It works with some programs but with some not..

    I will try that with the soundcrad drivers…
    But maybe not today…
    I’ll just post it when I have done it…
    just keep checking out this thread every other day..

    thanks 4 ya help 😀
