I tried using WASAPI. The problem is that it mutes any other sounds except the music, which is sometimes inconvenient. I tried ASIO and KS but they both don't work on my laptop. The option to select KS doesn't appear in the Output Device column. For ASIO, I get an error when I try to press the Add button. Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm using Windows Vista. WASAPI is good due to the fact it bypasses the Windows mixer. As many have said, Windows Vista sound system has some problems which causes music to sometimes jerk during playback. I'm facing this problem. Using WASAPI solves the problem and I'm very happy about it. The only thing I don't like is that it mutes all other sounds. So I can't hear any alerts during playback.

I posted the dll file in the directory you mentioned. But I just don't see it there. Not sure why too. Maybe my soundcard doesn't support it or something.

Okay. I'll try it. I guess my soundcard doesn't support ASIO. Thanks for the information.

Yeah, I do understand. I looked at the Output Device column. It only contains those DS ones. Nothing that mentions USB. And I tried to click the Add button in the ASIO and the error message given was "No ASIO drivers found".

Anyway, thanks for your reply.

DEVICLOT: I hope to use ASIO natively on foobar2000.
