 Why does the guitar link require the ASIO4ALL driver? (with MS Windows 10)... Thanks! |

Because it needs WDM Kernel-Streaming to effectively run the device with the DAW. You need a work around. Here is a link that should give you what you need. www.asio4all.org/One must set the usb interface as the default playback device. Then all goes to the headphone jack. |

thanks!
...but what if you're not using DAW's and say ' guitar rig software'? If you're just playing through headphones and a laptop (with the guitar link/USB interface), in my case it appears to work without ASIO4ALL installed?

for those who can't get hold of a guitar interface, you can go straight into a computer line in or Mic input with an audio signal, provided you can set the level and can buffer the guitar. A switched-off boss pedal will serve as a buffer. I use a small mixer for setting level but a simple pot would also work if the level is too hot.

I do have the guitar link/USB interface and it appears to work without the ASIO4ALL even being installed? The instruction sheet talks about installing ASIO4ALL, but the windows 10 on the laptop installed a driver for the USB audio automatically without me doing anything as soon as the interface was plugged in! The tiny CD that came with it won't even play or load! So, what is the ASIO4ALL for, what is it meant to do please? |

ASIO is usually better for latency and just performance in general, and especially when working with a DAW is usually preferred. ASIO4All is a workaround for devices which don’t provide their own ASIO drivers. It does other things, too, but that’s for more complicated setups. If you’re good with the performance from whatever generic class-compliant drivers you’ve got, then don’t bother.

Installed ASIO4ALL but nothing shows in the system tray or control panel (for audio devices)? ...doesn't show up anywhere! Will it only show up if there are audio devices that can actually use it (within the system)?  |

I haven't even tried to use it in years. There should be an application somewhere to configure it and stuff. Start menu or whatever. It should show up as a device in your DAW/audio software that can use ASIO wherever you go to set that stuff up.
