I may even break out VMP and give it a whirl again.
I have been using my 7300 for digital for quite a while but maybe now I'll go back to the Anan for digital.
Hi Joe,
It's not surprising that your UMC automatically set itself to 64 sample buffers when paired with cmASIO. That is standard ASIO SDK compliant behavior. In fact, the only ASIO drivers I have ever seen that
don't do this are the Voicemeeter drivers.
As far as giving VMP another whirl, I hope you won't. cmASIO was designed expressly for hardware device drivers, not virtual device drivers. If you're looking for good performance, VMP brings nothing to the table, and greatly burdens the thread that UMC and cmASIO share. And it's a hairy thread indeed!
I hope you do try going back to the Anan for digital. I'm sure you mean to use VAC1 and/or VAC2 for digital. cmASIO is, of course, unsuitable for digital modes. In fact, its primary goal was to act as a permanent replacement for the audio codec chip in the radio, which frees the VACs to be used as dedicated digital mode interfaces (which is what they were designed for in the first place).
