Rode A-1 Not being picked up

[Snodio]

Hey!

I have to say i love this project!

I can't get my Rode AI-1 interface to be picked up in the logs though, i have tried to tinker around, but i can't seem to figure it out.

Any recommendations?

You will need to install the ASIO drivers for your interface.
Usually this just means you have to download and install the latest available drivers from the audio interface manufacturer website, but for your interface there seems to be a "ASIO Service installer" that might be what you're missing.

After you install that, the driver name should appear in the logs and you can proceed with the rest of the setup.

Note that because Rocksmith2014 is a 32-bit game, there must be 32-bit ASIO drivers available for RS ASIO to work with them. Usually when installing drivers both 32 and 64 bit versions are automatically installed though.

Hey again!

Sorry for the delay in answering, havent played for a while!

I managed to get it working, thanks for the help! But now i cant manage to get the input detected by the game :/ I can also not hear the game audio

This is my RS_ASIO.ini

# for "EnableWasapiOutputs" you can use -1 to have a message prompting
# to use either WASAPI or ASIO for output every time you boot the game
[Config]
EnableWasapiOutputs=0
EnableWasapiInputs=0
EnableAsio=1

[Asio]
; available buffer size modes:
;    driver - respect buffer size setting set in the driver
;    host   - use a buffer size as close as possible as that requested by the host application
;    custom - use the buffer size specified in CustomBufferSize field
BufferSizeMode=driver
CustomBufferSize=

# if your game hangs or crashes on exit, try setting "EnableRefCountHack" to true.
# when blank or invalid, the value of "EnableRefCountHack" will be interpreted as
# true if RS ASIO detects the usage of Asio4All.
# the same applies for all inputs.
[Asio.Output]

The config looks good.
I need to see the log to check what's wrong with the audio though.

Also, with this config you'll need to connect your speakers/headphones to the interface to hear the audio.

[Snodio]

Thanks for the quick answer!

I do have both my input and output connected to the interface, yes :)

This is my log file :)

There are 2 issues here.

1. That log doesn't seem to have been generated with the same config file you posted above (it's missing any audio outputs)
2. Your interface is reporting a .... strange error: 30.265 [ERROR] ASIO Error: ASIO OK

Did you check if your interface's ASIO drivers are working fine in other programs? Something like the Guitar Rig demo would do.

[Snodio]

I will try that!

&& I will also generate a new log file and resend the file contents, I have been trying many different configurations hehe

Meanwhile, I espescially noticed this part, is there maybe something here?

{ASIO IN 0} DebugWrapperAudioClient<struct IAudioClient3>::IsFormatSupported - ShareMode: Exclusive
30.254 [INFO]    rejecting IEEE Float as it's incompatible with current ASIO sample type ASIOSTInt32LSB

[mdias]

Meanwhile, I espescially noticed this part, is there maybe something here?

No, this is normal. The game tries to negotiate a Float sample format first, and fails a couple of times before negotiating the compatible format.
You can see that after some tries, DebugWrapperAudioClient<struct IAudioClient3>::IsFormatSupported runs without reporting errors.

[Snodio]

Hey!

I am so so sorry that i havent gotten back to you on this.
I dont know what happpened, but when trying again now, with exactly the same config, it now WORKS :)

I have the custom buffer set to 1 and it works perfectly!

So you can gladly add "Røde AI-1" to your list of working defices. Followed the README to a tea :)

Thanks again man for this awesome project!

[SYN75X]

Hi me and my friend are trying to set him up with RS ASIO and he is also using a AI-1 but is having the same issue where the bass he is using is technically being recognized as a real tone cable, but still gives no audio when playing.

[mdias]

@SYN75X please post your RS_ASIO.ini and RS_ASIO-log.txt.

If audio output works, it's very likely that it's a minor setup issue that's not allowing you to get input.

[SYN75X]

I will send those in a little bit, I'm currently at work aswell as my friend so as soon as I have the log and ini I will send them over.

[SYN75X]

Sorry for the wait here are the two files.

RS_ASIO-log.txt

RS_ASIO.ini.txt

I apologize if this isn't how I'm supposed to send them. I'm kinda new to Github lol.

[mdias]

@SYN75X curiously your drivers are behaving identically to the OP's when he was having the issue.
The driver is failing to start the ASIO audio stream, and when RS ASIO asks it for the reason, it says everything is ok:

3.986 [INFO]  AsioSharedHost::Start - enter startCount: 0
3.986 [INFO]    Starting ASIO stream...
3.993 [ERROR]    Failed to start ASIO stream
3.993 [ERROR]  ASIO Error: ASIO OK

Often a reason this happens is because something else is already using the device, and most ASIO drivers don't allow shared usage of the device.
I'd try 2 things:

1. Ensure your device is completely disabled in the windows sound settings (both outputs and inputs) to guarantee no application is trying to use it. RS ASIO (and other ASIO applications) should still be able to use it since ASIO drivers communicate with the interface directly without going through windows' sound systems.
2. Make sure you have the latest drivers available for the interface. Go to your interface's website and download them instead of using drivers that came in the box of the interface.

Looking at your config, it looks like you want sound output on another device instead of also using the interface. If this is a mistake and you want sound output to come through the interface as well, you need to also fill in the Driver for [Asio.Output].

[SYN75X]

Okay we will give these a try. The only thing I could think had been causing issues is that this interface only let's you use 24 bit configurations instead of 16 bit. Do you think that would have any affect since from what I'm seeing rocksmith 2014 only really wants 16? The reason we are using a different audio output is because when we tried setting it up originally it wouldn't give us input or output but when we told the realtek sound mixer to listen to his interfaces headphone line in and disabled the rs asio output setting we were able to start hearing the game.
