#Sibelius playback configuration install

Put the money you save into buying new PCs in the future. Bet you it works just/nearly as good as your Asus card. Now you've got it working try out ASIO4ALL on your onboard sound.

#Sibelius playback configuration install

First time I installed Sibelius I was like wtf, why would it not install that by default? Or at least urge you to install it, spelling out the fact it won't play anything until you do! Glad you got it sorted, knew it would be the sound bank. Is anyone able to offer insight/advice/help/solutions/alcohol?

I'm sure that there must be a solution to our woes that doesn't involve buying very expensive pro level cards for each computer.

In audio engine options we can select the asus card's asio driver if we tick the virtual instrument box, but then get no sound at all. Now if we fire up sibelius, the only device listed is microsoft sound mapper, with it's huge latency. In the end we purchased an Asus Xonar DSX 7.1 card, as this supports asio. We tried an old Soundblaster (awe32) card, and it worked perfectly however these are no longer produced, and we need a solution that is a little less hit and miss than buying up old cards on ebay. We tried a couple of external USB Midi devices that were recomended by Jigsaw24, but had the same issue with latency. We experienced very large amounts of latency due to the playback being via Microsoft Midi Sound Mapper, and were told that we'd need an ASIO sound card. We have been looking at other options, including simple midi controller keyboards that have no playback facilities of their own. These are now falling to pieces and it turns out they are really hard to replace like for like. Keyboards that are midi instruments, having their own sounds. Up until now, we have happily been using Sibelius 7 with large midi keyboards.
