[SOLVED] ASIO4ALL,FL9 and MS GS Software Wavetable

[hops77]

Hi...
I'm here to fix a problem I have with ASIO4ALL in FruityLoops9.
It's very difficult for me to explain this problem(I'm Italian and my english is very bad!!!),but I'll try to be as clear as I can,so that you can understand the issue and help me.

I start from my hardware/software configuration:
-CPU : P4 3ghz
-OS : Windows XP SP3
-Audio Card 1 : Lexicon LAMBDA USB(enabled)
-Audio Card 2 : Sound Blaster Live 5.1(disabled from XP "Control Panel")
-Audio Card 3 : On board(...disabled from BIOS)
-Music Production Software : Fruity Loops 9
-ASIO Driver 1 : Lexicon Lambda ASIO Driver (with this driver I have latency and CPU overload problems)
-ASIO Driver 2 : ASIO4ALL 2.9
-MIDI Keyboard : M-AUDIO Keystation 49e USB(mute)

This is my problem description:everytime I open an old saved project with FruityLoops9(using the ASIO4ALL driver as default ASIO driver)I can't hear anything when I try to play the project or when I try to play the M-AUDIO keyboard.

From FL9 "Audio Settings" I open the ASIO4ALL Control Panel.In this panel I see that my LAMBDA output is disabled(with a red X),so I can't use it!If I put the mouse pointer on the disabled output a popup appears,and this popup says that the output is used from another application,called "MS GS Software Wavetable Synth".Here I post a picture so you can understand:



My first question is:how can I disable the "MS GS Software Wavetable Synth" in WinXP???Maybe from the FruityLoops9 "MIDI Settings"?Ok,take a look to this picture and check if there's something wrong in my FruityLoops9 "MIDI Settings":



Second question(about the last picture):do you think it is normal I have on the top of the MIDI output list "MIDI Mapper Microsoft"?

Now I'm sure that you are thinking that I have to check WinXP Control Panel:in XP Audio Settings I select "USB Speakers" in the "MIDI Playback" box(and NOT "MS GS Software Wavetable Synth"),as shown in the following picture:



At this point I give you a strange datail about the ASIO4ALL control panel that you can see in the first picture I posted:if I try to switch on LAMBDA input and output,then off,then on,then off again...etc...etc...,for about 1 minute,THE OUTPUT MAGICALLY APPEAR ENABLED!!!and I can use my FruityLoops9!BUT THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!!
I give you another strange detail:before the LAMBDA Audio Card,I used the Sound Blaster Live 5.1,and with this card I had no problem in using ASIO4ALL.Maybe you will ask me why I don't use the original LAMBDA ASIO driver...Because with the ASIO4ALL I have a better reduction of latency and CPU load.

I hope you can understand me and my bad english...and I hope you can help me to fix this problem.

Thanks a lot to all!!!

Have you disabled system sounds, as suggested in in manual?
Tried with Firefox closed (ad banners can be evil as they sometimes use the sound device) - ?

Hi Michael...
1)Yes,I disabled System Sounds,but no results.
2)I tried also to open FL9 with firefox closed...no results too.

Any other suggestion?

PROBLEM FIXED!

I re-enable my SB Live internal Audio Card...and I configure it as the default WinXP Audio Card.Now WinXP uses the SB Live for his applicaton,and the Lambda Output is free to be used in FL9(configured using the ASIO4ALL Panel).
