 Information about our drivers:
--Windows Driver Versions
There are 3 versions of the AudioScience Windows driver. They are the WAVE,
the WDM and the Combo. Briefly, the WAVE driver supports the waveOut, waveIn and mixer interfaces,
the WDM driver supports the DirectSound and DirectShow interfaces, and the Combo driver contains both the WAVE and
WDM interfaces. See below for more information on a specific driver.
--ASIO
All Windows drivers support the ASIO
interface. The WAVE driver supports WAVE and ASIO, the WDM driver supports WDM and ASIO, and the Combo driver
supports WAVE, WDM and ASIO. (For information on configuring Adobe
Audition 2.0 with the ASIO driver, see here.)
--Combo driver
The Combo driver is used for specific circumstances. The Combo driver is typically used when
2 applications on the same machine require 2 different driver types. For example,
automation software that requires the WAVE interface and editing software that requires the DirectSound or DirectShow interfaces.
--Driver Selection - PLEASE READ
To
verify what driver type and version you need, AudioScience recommends checking with either
the support department or the website of the application that you are using with the AudioScience card.
For a list of some
vendors, their applications, and the driver types they support, check here.
--Adapter Support
Some older cards are no longer
supported in recent driver releases, while new cards have been added and are only supported in newer driver releases. For a list of our cards and driver support,
check here.
--Driver Versioning
Our driver numbering uses the NN.NN.NN system. A released driver,
one that you would find on this page, will always have an even number as its middle
two digits - 3.06.07, for example. Odd numbered middle digits will be our
"in development" drivers - 3.07.06, for example.
