In any event, thank you to BS for their great product and thank you to Azio for their great dongle and technical support.Īs far as the licensing is concerned - the BS license is embedded in the Azio dongle firmeware, so BS is not useable without the Azio dongle. I know it isn't my hardware because when I dual-boot over to Linux, I always have to turn the volume down and it is never inadequate. This is not a BS problem, per se, but an audio equalizer, or some other control to boost the sound output would be a most appreciated feature for BS. Sometimes the volume is much louder than needed, but it is often not loud enough. Windows 7 has a known problem with audio level. It would be great if I could name the devices so that I could tell them appart in the BS control panel.Ģ. I switch back and forth between 2 identical BT headsets due to battery life. I didn't work until, per Azio instrucitons, I uninstalled all BlueTooth devices and drivers, rebooted, and reinstalled BS 7. I contacted Azio, who suggested the FREE upgrade to BlueSoleil 7. When I upgraded to Windows 7 圆4, everything stopped working.
Higher bit-depth samples offer the potential for a higher signal-to-noise ratio.I bought an Azio dongle with BlueSoleil 5. In addition, ASIO supports 24-bit samples, unlike Windows NT 5.x MME and DirectSound which truncate 24-bit samples to the upper 16 bits, whereas Windows NT 6.x mixer provides 32-bit floating point output. Unlike KMixer, an unmixed ASIO output is "bit identical" or "bit perfect" that is, the bits sent to or received from the audio interface are identical to those of the original source, thus potentially providing higher audio fidelity. Its main strength lies in its method of bypassing the inherently high latency and poor-quality mixing and sample rate conversion of Windows NT 5.x audio mixing kernels (KMixer), allowing direct, high speed communication with audio hardware. In this way ASIO offers a relatively simple way of accessing multiple audio inputs and outputs independently. Each layer that is bypassed means a reduction in latency (the delay between an application sending audio information and it being reproduced by the sound card, or input signals from the sound card being available to the application). Whereas Microsoft’s DirectSound is commonly used as an intermediary signal path for non-professional users, ASIO allows musicians and sound engineers to access external hardware directly.ĪSIO bypasses the normal audio path from a user application through layers of intermediary Windows operating system software so that an application connects directly to the sound card hardware. Audio Stream Input/Output ( ASIO) is a computer sound card driver protocol for digital audio specified by Steinberg, providing a low-latency and high fidelity interface between a software application and a computer's sound card.
