I used to record guitar & bass from a Zoom G5 USB direct in FL Studio and I think I never touched to ASIO4ALL settings other than activating the G5 input, and everything was working well. I recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 after formating my hard drive, I reinstalled my DAWs and ASIO4ALL, but now it seems something with the G5 input volume is wrong! Within both FL Studio and Sonar, the playback volume in my headphones is okay, the db meters don't indicate clipping but it looks like anyhow I play it reaches sort of a limit, and if I try to record something, it just clips so much that the actual guitar is just barely audible.
If I try to lower the mixer track volume, it lowers the volume but the limit is still there. I didn't touch any setting on the G5 since reinstalling. If I want to have a reasonable volume, I have to lower the G5 internal level to 1 (0 being mute). I tried with a Realtek HD, which changed nothing since it only affected the outputs which are already working fine. Lowering the G5 level from Windows or even muting it does nothing when A4A is on, it looks like It's bypassing Windows to go directly into A4A. That's why I believe the problem is coming from A4A. Is there any setting I missed, maybe?
I just can't record anything. Even clean jack hum reaches my old average volume.
Here are screenshots from FL Studio(I get exactly the same thing from Sonar). The track in the playlist is what I get when I try to record :
With volume at 100% :
With lowered volume :
Also, another minor problem : I used to be able to watch videos while leaving A4A on, and now I can't run 2 audio apps at the same time. It's not that bothering, but it will probably slow my workflow. I didn't try to solve this yet.
Any help would be appreciated! thanks!
