Anonymous, ASIO is only useful for laying down a track while playing back existing tracks into headphones to reduce but not eliminate the latency. There is usually still detectible latency when using ASIO4ALL it is just significantly less than directsound or all other methods of audio subsystem interfacing. BUT you should not exepreience stuttery or lagging audio unless something is wrong with your configuration!

There are several sound chipsets that excluded the extra analogue to digital converters needed to sample the stereo mixers output to provide that input pin you mention to enable... That is where WASAPI in audacity comes in which lets you record system output devices too.

Also IF you have a soundchipset that does include a stereo mix input pin as far as windows is concerned then you should also be able to enable that input source in ASIO4ALL by using the advanced settings and enabling which input and output sources you want to be able to use in an ASIO based program.

The reason most developers don't care to bother with the ASIO interface is they don't need to as the existing sound subsystems are more than adequate for their needs on reasonably spec'd systems and The higher level audio subsytems handles things like rate conversion or sample size conversion which for a developer is very desirable the hardware may be running at 96kbps and 24bit integer but your app wants 44.1Kbps at 16bit... if that's what you want directsound will do the conversion for you and you don't have to care about what the real devices settings are.

Takeshi, Some context here would be nice

Takeshi, always shame on them even if you feel shame for being too optimistic! All 1AV* product family are based around obsolete legacy systems and should be re-designed to use at least the next generation of technology even if they cannot figure out current windows technology! .NET 4.00 is windws XP based framework as is DirectSound in fact DirectSound is Windows 98 technology!

Jim, have sane problem

Zły,

This sometimes happens because of the use of Themida wrapper by Giveawayoftheday. Some antivirus programs like Avast, AVG, prevent the installation because of that.
Try to disable your antivirus for a minute or so, and reenable it as soon as a setup window appears. Now continue the installation, and it should be a smooth sailing from here on.

Translation:

To sie czesto zdarza gdy program jest opakowany Themida przez Giveawayoftheday.
Dlatego sugeruje, zeby Pan ponownie sprobowal instalacje programu.
Ale trzeba zatrzymac program antyvirusowy, a czasem takze zapore ogniowa, na bardzo krotko, az instalacja sie zacznie, i zaraz potem natychmiast wlaczyc z powrotem program antyvirusowy i zapore ogniowa, i kontynuowac instalacje.Wszystko powinno isc teraz gladko.

brenda, thanks for the heads up, saves me wasting my time downloading.

brenda,

This version is: 1.0.1.11, what was the October 7, 2017 version?
