but if they are only cheap PC surround speakers they may not work great. Unless you are targeting something that is going to be used on specific surround capable headphones I think you are wasting your time both trying to use ASIO4ALL and mixing surround on those headphones. And while mixing supporting you really want multiple monitors set up properly for surround sound.

You should have planned on getting a proper ASIO interface (with native ASIO driver provided by the interface vendor) to use with Pro Tools. ASIO4ALL is a flakey wrapper that may or may not work. Why? Because Windows audio is an awful mess and ASIO is the best out there. Pro Tools does not require ASIO just to work with video, Pro Tools requires ASIO for *any* audio work on Windows, well it claims to work with WASAPI audio but really is not reliable.

An popular example for Dolby Pro Logic encoding is Neyrinck soundcode TOSLINK can support old multichannel formats, but you need an encoder and they are licensed hardware and/or software. that's stereo only and the only thing Pro Tools will directly output to that interface. You can't do that with S/PDIF over TOSLINK. You have TOSLINK optical output and want to run a surround sound format on that. I do have a set of 5.1 speakers that I can hook up to get the work done, but I'd like to be able to work on headphones.

I only paid $200 for the $1000 set from some schmo on Craigslist, but they are really awesome. Is that a limitation of the ASIO4ALL driver? Is there another output device to encode Dolby Digital, PLIIx, or DTS and send it out through optical? I know it can work in theory because video games can do it.Īny suggestions for getting these headphones to work would be great. There doesn't seem to be any way to route 5.1 to that optical TOSLink output. (The Realtek on the mobo has 3 stereo mini outputs for 6-channel analog next to the optical TOSLink output jack.) If I set up the stereo output, and direct my stereo mixdown bus to it, I can hear stereo in the headphones. When I set up a new output path, I can see six channel analog, but only 2 channels for S/PDIF. I installed the latest ('final') version of the driver. Regardless, I need to edit with video playback, so I guess ASIO4ALL is my only option. Now I can't seem to switch the playback device back to the Windows Audio Device to see if that might work, even in a session with no video track.

I had to install ASIO4ALL to get video playback to work. I don't think the ones from the Asus support page contained an ASIO driver. It couldn't detect them again after manually installing the other ones even though they are newer. I had to reformat the system so I could reinstall the ones from Windows Update.

The audio drivers available on the Asus Z170 support page were also out of date and borkened the system so I couldn't set the audio control to DTS output at all. RealTek doesn't provide any audio drivers or utilities from their web site or Windows Store anymore, only through Windows Update. (Why the heck isn't there an easy way to install a. Some web page suggested using 'Driver Easy' to install them but I don't want to pay $39 for something that potentially won't work. I tried 'manual install' but nothing seemed to work.

There is no ASIO software component in device manager to update the driver from like most of the instructions said. cab file from the Microsoft driver archive. I found some ancient RealTek ASIO driver in a.

Pro Tools requires an ASIO driver for video playback. I know the driver is capable of producing it from software, since games worked. Whether that, or if it functions through binaural sound field reproduction, it requires a compressed DTS, Dolby Digital, or PLIIx signal over the optical TOSLink cable. I was pretty sure this newer model actually has multiple transducers in each ear. If it only receives L/R stereo, the indicators don't light up, but I still hear plain stereo. When I play a video game or movie, it is able to send compressed DTS or Dolby Digital to the headphone base, which has indicator lights for the type of signal it receives. I have Sony Digital Surround DP-RF6500 headphones hooked up to the Realtek optical TOSLink output. My mobo is an Asus Z170 with Realtek High Definition Audio over optical TOSLink output. NOTE: I don't know why my replies have not shown up yet.
