[Answered] ASIO button won't open Presonus window
When I click on the ASIO button under mixing latency it won't open the window for changing latency on FireStudio LightPipe. I have to go to the Presonus program and open it from there. Is there anything I can do to make this work properly?

Different audio interface manufacturers use either the ASIO button in Sonar, OR they open their UI by opening an icon that sits in the system tray of your display screen.
Look down there - by the clock and volume and all of those icons, for one for the Presonus. That's where mine is.

No worries anyway as what others said, besides when adjusting the latency on your sound card app...Sonar needs to restart before the latency changes take effect. .

It's not that it '"didn't work". Sonar provides that ASIO Control Panel button IN CASE the driver UI is written to take advantage of it. Some are, and some are not.
It's not that Sonar is broken, or that the UI is broken. It's just that different companies do it sometimes to respond to that button in Sonar, and some companies instead launch access to the UI for their audio interface by opening an icon that sits in the Windows System Tray.
I have only seen the above two methods, though there may be some that use neither, and instead require double-clicking on some desktop icon.
I hope that helps clear things up on this.

In my case I have to click on the ASIO button twice - the first click never opens the ASIO panel, but the second click always does. Strange, but true.

Not necessarily. I adjust the buffers for my interface using the vendor supplied AudioBox client and SONAR picks up the change without restarting.

I kinda wish that was the case on my Focusrite Saffire Pro40 - the Mixer app actually locks all settings related to drivers/buffers/latency when ASIO is in use. I need to have any ASIO aware application closed in order to change settings. Not a big deal, but it's a minor annoyance on longer project sessions, when I'm tweaking latencies for softsynths and am going back and forth between different settings.

Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 here and it's never worked for me either. Also if I open the Scarlettmix panel with Sonar running and change my buffers Sonar gets all crashy on me so I just close Sonar before making such adjustment.
Can't remember if my Echo worked with the ASIO button. I think it did. Maybe it's a PCI thing.

With both a delta 1010 and now the impact twin, I open the "asio audio interface" and the "preferences" in Sonar, change buffer size on the audio interface then click apply change in Sonar preferences. Works like a charm.

Here's another method -I like what TASCAM does with the US-366 and US-322 desktop interfaces - there's a button on the top of the box that opens the applet as well as the built-in DSP. I actually don't know if I can access it from within Sonar; pushing the button is so convenient I haven't tried anything else.

Yup. The first click on the ASIO button does nothing, but when I click a second time ( not double-click) the ASIO applet will open - just a slider with values displayed. It's much quicker than opening the mix panel, and it never crashes.

I like that feature and I can see why it is implemented. Many apps that use ASIO will crash if you change the settings in mid flow. People would be logging calls to Focusrite otherwise asking why the Saffire is crashing the ASIO app, so this reduces their support calls.... Perfectly reasonable... I notice the ASIO apps tend to inherit what the Saffire has already set anyway. BTW please make sure you are on the latest mix control software without the legacy firewire driver if your behaviour is different to mine.

Weird. Maybe it was another case of X2 acting like a jerk to me. Maybe I'll see if it works in X3. Not really a big deal anyway. Takes like 5 extra seconds the way I've been doing it.

For me, it behaved the same way in X2. Regardless, it's certainly worth a try in X3!

Really? Are you using x3? I use RME and had similar experience to what you describe when I used 8.5. But with x3d it seems to work as you describe until I actually play back audio. A that point the sound is garbled. I need to restart Sonar for the change to be effective.

I believe the recommendation is to cycle the audio interface after changing settings, to refresh everything.
But, if it works for you without doing so, more power to you.
I always do it, but then again, I haven't changed settings in about 2 years, so it's really not even a minor deal for me to reload Sonar after disconnecting and reconnecting my interface.

I'm using an RME FF800 (FireWire) with the latest drivers on X3d. It works 100% of the time. Of course the transport needs to be stopped but I don't need to restart Sonar for the change to take effect.

Interesting. I use the UFX with x3d. I always need to restart Sonar using using either USB or FireWire. I seem to recall not having to restart when using 8.5.
