Hearing sounds in other programs while using ASIO output in Finale
Posted: Sun Aug 16, 2020 4:49 pm
When I got a new computer a year or so ago, I had to switch from ASIO to Direct Sound in order for audio to work in other programs while Finale was open. Direct Sound has a little bit of latency on my system, so I was never quite comfortable using it with MIDI input.
Last night I discovered something called FlexASIO, which solves the ASIO issue. You install it by running an installer available at https://github.com/dechamps/FlexASIO. Then you can set Output Source in Finale's Audio Setup dialog to FlexASIO and hear sounds from other programs. Now I can use ASIO again and have no latency issues.
