MusicBee crashes when changing to ASIO

[Elmo82]

Hi,

i'm running latest Version of MusicBee (2.5.5728) on my recently Win10 64Bit updated PC. For my headfones I'm using an extenal USB DAC (FiiO OLYMPUS 2-E10K).
Unfortunately when I'm trying to set sound output to ASIO in Preferences/Player MusicBee crashes instantly without any report.

Can someone give me an advice?

Thanks in advance!

What ASIO drivers do you have installed?

[Elmo82]

... I've installed the latest one that is available on the FiiO-Page ...

The only error massage that is recorded looks like this - don't know i've my ASIO-Problem is connected to this:

Thanks in advance!!!

the error indlcates the data returned from the ASIO device is null - for whatever reason MB wont be able to playback using your ASIO device

[Elmo82]

OK thanks ... but it is kind of strange because until that time everything was working  fine
Hope that in a near future it will work again    *fingerscrossed*

Just curious, is there a special reason why you would want to use asio?

Asio was originally intended for music production where extremely low latency is required, but for playing audio it won't make a difference sound quality wise compared with wasapi.
For some dsd capable dac's asio might be required, but I don't believe the FiiO you mention can do dsd.

Also, checking the driver page of FiiO; it is very Spartan, and they don't even seem to give a clue what Windows version they support with their asio driver?

Have you tried ASIO4ALL? Granted it's not as efficient as having a native ASIO driver, but it may be the next best thing.

[hiccup]

But I still wonder, what would be gained with asio, when the Fiio will play bit-perfect out of the box, no drivers needed with wasapi?
