  • [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.

Mine never worked...  I make the changes in the M-Audio mixer outside Sonar.

Thanks!  That what I figured but wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong!
It's always reassuring to know you're not alone in this world!

FWIW my FS 26x26 never worked either, you have to go in through the mixer.

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.
