Cerio, you're happy now and that's great. In fact you have a much better system than I do and mine is pretty good. Still, you start out by saying you agree that ASIO4ALL is not really ASIO then you go on to say:

ASIO4ALL(wich is not a "freebie", but a serious and very widely used ASIO driver, btw)



and

the problem is due to the way BIAB handles ASIO drivers and MIDI Out ports.



We're not talking about a real ASIO driver. ASIO4ALL is NOT ASIO and yes it's a freebie, did you pay for it? And, with one simple tweak from Kent everything is good so where's the problem?

I think your problem is with the blurb on Alesis' website describing your Multimix. It's missing one important thing and that is their own ASIO driver. So, what do they do? They put a link to ASIO4ALL and say this: "ASIO4ALL - optional ASIO driver for Windows..." That sounds nice doesn't it? Completely deceiving because it sounds like it's a real ASIO driver that will work with the Multimix. Not so, it's a freebie third party piece of software that usually works ok but no guarantees. That Multimix is causing just as many problems with lots of users as you think PG and ASIO is. I just did a Google search using the words "alesis multimix asio problems" and posts come up from all over the place. Check it out yourself.

The thing is any company is responsible for what they advertise. PG says they're compatible with ASIO and they have been for the last several years now. I admit they were not so great at it 5 years ago. I had a problem with ASIO with my old machine but with my new one, everything is perfect.

If you or anybody else reading this thinks PG has a problem with a real, legitimate ASIO driver post it and we can discuss it. However, in my opinion anyway, if somebody is using a machine more than say 6 years old, don't bother. Of course there's always exceptions with anything (look at Ryszrd's nightmare with his brand new custom built PC) but I'll bet real ASIO works fine for 95% of the users who understand how to set it up properly.
