Topic: Fireface UC + ASIOGetClockSources

Hi,

I do not get correct data for the clock sources with this ASIO command.
There is only one clock source reported with name 'Settings'.
Obviously this is wrong.

Is there a test program available that can check this feature independently of my program?
The recommended RME ASIO Test Tool does not include a display for the clock sources.

Best regards
Uli

None of our drivers ever did and there is no need to support this feature. Clocking is done outside of the ASIO app and should not be controlled by the ASIO app. This just opens both a can of worms and total confusion.

Re: Fireface UC + ASIOGetClockSources

Thanks. Of course you may have good reasons to allow a feature or not.

The only problem is that there is no documentation what functions and features of the ASIO interface are available. As ASIOGetClockSources still returns (wrong) data and also ASE_OK this shows that the ASIO driver is somehow suboptimal (first I have indeed asked myself about a fault in my code). This does not create confidence in the driver quality.

And at least it cannot harm if you would allow to retrieve available information. So ASIOGetClockSources is never dangerous but ASIOSetClockSources can be. In a similar way getting the wrong samplerate information is another bad example.
