If that's the case, please see our Troubleshooting DPC Latency article.
But I do not see this driver anywhere in the i/o driver list of OBS (nor Ableton) I fried my brains trying to get Ableton and OBS to read from my audio interface at the same time, and find myself.
ensured is visible in the 64 bit folder within the obs parent folder within Program Files. If you continue to experience clicks/pops/distorted audio after following the steps above then you may be experiencing an issue relating to DPC Latency. Downloaded and installed the obs studio asio 2.0.0 driver. Expand the various busses until you find your USB controllers. To view what bus your interface is connected to open Device Manager (available from Control Panel), open the View menu and select "Devices by connection". Try connecting the interface to its own USB bus. When connected via a hub, this trade-off is less favourable. With any audio interface, you must trade performance/latency for stability. If using a USB hub try connecting directly to a USB port on your computer. Some ports on your system may offer better performance than others. Try connecting your interface to other USB ports. Try disconnecting any other USB devices that you might have connected to the system. Please note this will reduce audio performance issues but increase latency. Try increasing the buffer size - you can do this from the 'Focusrite Notifier' application on Windows (found in the Windows taskbar) or from within a DAW on Mac. Optimise your computer for audio by following the relevant link to the article for your operating system:
Ensure that you have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for your interface from our downloads section Thus please do not run ASIO4all with your Focusrite unit, as these are not meant to be compatible.If you are experiencing connectivity or audio performance issues with your USB interface you should follow these general troubleshooting steps to help overcome your issue: You can see in this article that ASIO4all makers do not recommend installing the manufacturer driver for your USB unit, same as we don't recommend installing their software. Please always select the correct device driver for your Focusrite Interface, which should read "Focusrite" or the unit's name such as "Scarlett" "Saffire" "Clarett" etc.įor more information on ASIO4all please see the ASIO4all FAQ page here. exe file and follow the on-screen instructions. Go to your Downloads folder, launch the installer, and follow the on-screen instructions. Expand the Software section, then download the latest version of the driver for your operating system. Using the WDM Driver or Generic Microsoft driver for that audio device will have much slower latency and performance than a native ASIO Device Driver. Go to the Focusrite download page, and select your Scarlett 2i2 or Solo driver using the Pick your product by range dropdown box.
Thus when using ASIO4all you are bypassing the manufacturer's own ASIO Device Driver written specifically for that hardware. This means that ASIO4all connects to an audio device's own WDM Driver or the Windows Generic USB Driver and allows that driver to appear as ASIO to your DAW. (Example Realtek or Nvidia HD Audio, SoundBlaster cards) The Focusrite Interfaces all come with a native device specific driver that includes both ASIO and WDM driver types.ĪSIO4all is designed for units that do not have native ASIO Device Drivers, like your computer's built in audio. We do not recommend using ASIO4all in your DAW for your Focusrite Interface.
