Also, the green volume meter is moving when I play bass, though no sound

That's great, but you have again ignored several posts where I have asked you for responses.

You should be almost done, but if you keep ignoring my requests for info, I will cease to participate in this thread.

Are you ready to finish this properly, or do you just want to wing it?

Bob Bone

Bob, I want be as disciplined as you need me. I do not see what I might have ignored  (Other than sample rates few post before) ?  You have been most patient, please dont give up :-)

1.  Stop jumping around
2.  Go to Edit>Preferences>Audio>Driver Settings
3.  Please respond by telling me how every setting is currently set here

We will continue after I review your response.

Bob Bone

Here are current settings. (g) means light shade grey, inactive setting

Playback Timing Master      1: UA-25 out
Record Timing Master         1: UA-25 in
Audio Driver Bit Depth        24  (g)           64 bit double precision engine (not checked)
Stereo Panning                    0
Sampling Rate                     44100
Buffers in Playback Queue    2 (g)
Buffer Size                           Fast (g)       6,5msec      288 samples

ASIO Reported Latencies:

 Input:  10,8 msec, 478 samples
Output 13,5 msec, 597 samples

Total Roundtrip: 24,4 msec,  1074 samples

OK - thanks

Can you leave this running and retrieve your interface settings and post those also?

I know the sample rate is 44.1 at 24-bit, I am curious on the buffers.

Also, on this screen I recommend the Stereo Panning be set to: -3db center, sin/cos taper, constant power.

The total round trip latency should be able to be lower - so we will look at getting that to happen

I am not sure how to retrieve interface settings like buffers. Windows control panel?

I don't know anything about that interface, but they must have some kind of program to control settings on it.

Check in the system tray, and if not running there, check to see if there is a program installed through your Start button / menu.

I'll take a quick look at the doc and see what it says.

The UA25 is a bit different, its interface is weird, it doesn't show "normal" buffer sizes it just has a slider.  Like sonar has in WDM mode. 

Agreed the latency should be lower for accurate recording, but isn't his complaint about sound quality of his bass tracks? Which he can now hear, I woulls still like to know what he is listening through? 

Also on his timing sonar behaves better I believe ( can't remember the reason) if the playback and recording timing masters are set differently. Ie 1 on playback and 2 on recording.

Here is the doc for the settings:


To change the settings To change or verify settings When changing driver settings, always make sure to first quit all applications using the UA-25. 


This is unnecessary when only checking the settings. * If the Windows monitoring function is enabled, it won't be possible to change the driver settings. 


Refer to "Could the Windows monitoring function be enabled?" and disable monitoring. Open the "Control Panel," switch "View by:" to the icon view (Large icons or Small icons), and then click "UA-25." 

  The "UA-25 Driver Settings" dialog box will appear. To modify the settings, make the changes and click [OK]. To simply check the settings, be sure to click [Cancel] after viewing the settings. * For details on the setting items, refer to "About the items in the Settings dialog box." 

  About the items in the Settings dialog box Audio Buffer SizeYou can adjust the audio input/output buffer size. (By default, this will be the sixth position from the left.)Decreasing the buffer size will shorten the latency and improve realtime performance, but might make it more likely that you will experience audio clicks and pops, depending on your computer's processing power and the song data load.



Increasing the buffer size will lengthen the latency, but will make audio streaming more stable, and it will be less likely for audio clicks and pops to occur.In general, you'll probably want to decrease the buffer size for better realtime performance if you're playing a software synthesizer in real time, or if you're monitoring an audio input that's being passed through your DAW software. 



Conversely, you can increase the buffer size to prevent audio clicks and pops if you're recording or playing back song data that contains numerous tracks and presents a heavy processing load.By changing the buffer size as appropriate for your situation, you can obtain the right balance between realtime performance and audio streaming stability. * Note!
After you've changed the "Audio Buffer Size," make sure to restart all applications which are using the UA-25. Then, if you are using a program that offers a function for testing audio devices, we recommend that you run such tests. 



Also, you may want to check to see if your application is one of those that provides a setting for adjusting the buffer size. 

ASIO Buffer SizeThis is the minimum buffer size that can be set by the ASIO application. * Depending on the application you're using, there may be other buffer sizes that can be set in addition to the minimum buffer size, and the buffer size shown here might not match the actual buffer size. 



For details on setting and checking the buffer size, refer to the owner's manual for your application.  "Use Smaller ASIO Buffer Size" check boxIf this check box is selected, the buffer size when using ASIO-compatible applications will be made smaller.If you experience pops or clicks when this check box is selected, deselect this check box. * You must deselect this check box when adjusting the "Audio Buffer Size."  "Use ASIO Direct Monitor" check boxCheck this if you are using the ASIO Direct Monitor function with an ASIO-compatible application. 


The "Light Load" check boxNormally, you should leave this check box cleared. * The modified setting will take effect after the USB cable of the UA-25 is disconnected and reconnected.  "
