This problem iss not confined to ASIO4All.



I agree. I've used EMU 1212m & Tascam US1800 ASIO drivers & got the same buzz/distortions.

I too, am using PT2010. I did NOT have this problem in PT12 (Although both have other issues; e.g. terrible 'memory leaks' in XP SP3!).

My irritating but, play-thru effective 'buzz' work-around was

  • to keep an "empty" track nearby (within an easy mouse click)
  • After I play thru, and my Buzz starts, I Solo the empty track & press play then stop & un-solo.
  • The Buzz stops & I can play/record again- until the play-thru ends. Then, I may need to redo the above.


In computer programming, this may indicate a Code Bug w/Win+ASIO. Some action is left UN-terminated (looped, etc), causing some Hardware to remain actively sending signals thru ASIO.

I'm curious, if PT2012 solved this issue.
