Audio Stream Input/Output, or ASIO, mode ensures your PC sound doesn’t undergo digital signal processing or sample-rate conversion. It is nearly 100% true to its source, and preferred by audiophiles looking for complete fidelity. Code lobster.

Essence products support native Audio Stream Input/Output 2.2 drivers, known as ASIO 2.2., allowing digital signals to bypass Windows audio layers to avoid redundant processing. With easy setup, it allows you to quickly enjoy high fidelity and stable bit-perfect audio.

Foobar2000 Asio Driver
The example below shows how to configure your Windows 7 PC with an Essence USB DAC using ASIO as the output mode through the foobar2000 media player:
- Install your Essence USB audio product
Please follow the quick-start guide to install the Essence USB audio 2.0 driver and the Essence product. Make sure the Essence product is set as default audio device.
- Install foobar2000
Once foobar2000 is installed, add the ASIO plug-in on foobar2000 — like this:
Step 1: Download the ASIO component
Find the ‘Get more components’ link under File>Preferences>Components – it’s near the bottom of the dialog box
Clicking the link will direct you to www.foobar2000.org/components. Download the ASIO support file and save it to your PC
Step 2: Install the ASIO component
Return to File>Preferences>Components and click the ‘Install’ button
Select ‘foo_out_asio’ component and click the ‘Open’ button
Click ‘Apply’ and restart foobar2000.
Step 3: Enable ASIO output mode
Select ‘ASIO: Essence device’ under Preferences>Output>Playback>Output.Click the ‘Apply’ button and then click ‘OK’.
ASIO audio output is now enabled. Most Essence USB audio products feature a bit-perfect LED indicator. It will always light up under ASIO playback to show that your playback is bit-perfect.
I have reported before that the driver installer executable rmeinstaller.exe does not work properly. I have used it on three different Windows 10 Pro 64 bit machines, all of which are updated to the latest version ( 1803 ). The installer hangs after the first screen. The task continues to run without any CPU activity and after waiting for approximately 60 seconds appears to continue and finish correctly. However after a reboot the icon for the control tool is not present. To get around this is was necessary to go to the
C:Users%username%AppDataLocalTemprme directory and run or rerun dpinst64.exe. Incidentally I also tried running as administrator but that made no difference.
Foobar Asio
On the particular machine I was building today ( core -I7 but with a fairly old socket LGA 1366 motherboard) there was a further problem even then because the ASIO drivers were not working. In Audacity ( built with ASIO support ) no ASIO drivers were even detected. In Foobar 2000 the output could be set to Madiface ASIO but when play was pressed it said that the driver could not be loaded. I checked a number of things but eventually found that I had to disable the Realtek HD Audio ( Realtek ALC889 codec) by switching off the on board audio device in BIOS. Not the first time I have found that Realtek drivers break ASIO ( and not only the RME ASIO drivers).
