ASIO驅(qū)動(dòng)詳細(xì)介紹
ASIO的全稱(chēng)是Audio Stream Input Output,直接翻譯過(guò)來(lái)就是音頻流輸入輸出接口的意思。通常這是專(zhuān)業(yè)聲卡或高檔音頻工作站才會(huì)具備的性能。采用ASIO技術(shù)可以減少系統(tǒng)對(duì)音頻流信號(hào)的延遲,增強(qiáng)聲卡硬件的處理能力。同樣一塊聲卡,假設(shè)使用MME驅(qū)動(dòng)[1]時(shí)的延遲時(shí)間為750毫秒,那么當(dāng)換成ASIO驅(qū)動(dòng)后延遲量就有可能會(huì)降低到40毫秒以下。
理解ASIO的含義
也許你仍無(wú)法認(rèn)識(shí)到解決音頻延遲的具體意義,那么,我們姑且換一個(gè)角度來(lái)看問(wèn)題:許多朋友都試過(guò)用計(jì)算機(jī)與互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進(jìn)行語(yǔ)音通話(huà),就連著名的聊天工具OICQ都有此功能。其實(shí)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的語(yǔ)音通訊跟電信部門(mén)提供的IP電話(huà)是同樣機(jī)理,只不過(guò)由于網(wǎng)絡(luò)帶寬的限制而使得前者的聲音延遲現(xiàn)象遠(yuǎn)比后者嚴(yán)重得多。當(dāng)話(huà)音的延遲在一定的范圍內(nèi)時(shí),人們會(huì)覺(jué)得尚可接受;但如果延遲量實(shí)在太大(比如說(shuō)每說(shuō)一句話(huà)都要等到5秒以上),那么大家就會(huì)覺(jué)得這是無(wú)法忍受的了。
誰(shuí)會(huì)需要ASIO
普聲卡在播放音頻流的時(shí)候是有延遲的,盡管一般用戶(hù)都不易察覺(jué)到它的存在。畢竟,對(duì)于播放影碟和雙聲道的MP3音樂(lè)以及玩游戲來(lái)說(shuō),幾百毫秒的聲音延遲對(duì)應(yīng)用的影響根本是微乎其微的,完全可以被忽略不計(jì)。但是,對(duì)于專(zhuān)業(yè)的錄音師和音樂(lè)制作人來(lái)說(shuō),這幾百毫秒延遲所帶來(lái)的后果就好比我們普通用戶(hù)要面對(duì)響應(yīng)極慢的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)IP電話(huà)那樣,同樣是不能容忍。試想,當(dāng)按下一個(gè)琴鍵時(shí),要經(jīng)過(guò)0.6以上的時(shí)間才能夠聽(tīng)到聲響,恐怕任何演奏者都很難發(fā)揮其正常的水平,更無(wú)法控制音樂(lè)表演的情緒;錄音師進(jìn)行后期制作的過(guò)程中,需要給不同的音頻信號(hào)做相應(yīng)的實(shí)時(shí)效果處理,并對(duì)分軌錄制的多通道音頻流進(jìn)行混音,以得到最終的雙聲道立體聲或是5.1聲道的環(huán)繞聲格式。在對(duì)多個(gè)聲部的音頻進(jìn)行縮混時(shí),如果聲音有延遲且延遲時(shí)間各不相等,那么多個(gè)聲道之間的信號(hào)同步就會(huì)成為大問(wèn)題,錄音師就會(huì)因此而無(wú)法對(duì)混音的結(jié)果進(jìn)行準(zhǔn)確判斷。為此,他們十分迫切需要一種能夠讓音頻設(shè)備實(shí)現(xiàn)“零延遲”的技術(shù),這個(gè)技術(shù)就是Steinberg定義的ASIO。
ASIO的本質(zhì)
為了實(shí)現(xiàn)“音頻設(shè)備零延遲”的理想,著名的音樂(lè)制作軟件Cubase VST的開(kāi)發(fā)者Steinberg公司提出了被稱(chēng)為Audio Stream Input Output的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)規(guī)范,其目的是為了讓各硬件廠(chǎng)商開(kāi)發(fā)出來(lái)的設(shè)備能夠很好地與Steinberg的音頻處理軟件Cubase VST相結(jié)合,以使其在數(shù)字音頻處理和軟件音源模擬方面發(fā)揮出最佳的性能水平。ASIO完全擺脫了Windows操作系統(tǒng)對(duì)硬件的集中控制,它能實(shí)現(xiàn)在音頻處理軟件與硬件之間進(jìn)行多通道傳輸?shù)耐瑫r(shí),將系統(tǒng)對(duì)音頻流的響應(yīng)時(shí)間降至最短。根據(jù)ASIO規(guī)范中定義的細(xì)節(jié),聲卡廠(chǎng)商可以為其硬件產(chǎn)品編寫(xiě)出高效能的ASIO驅(qū)動(dòng)程序,使用聲卡硬件對(duì)音頻流的響應(yīng)時(shí)間降低到十幾毫秒以?xún)?nèi)。要知道,即便是對(duì)于那些極其苛刻的專(zhuān)業(yè)音樂(lè)制作人,這樣低的延遲量也是根本無(wú)法察覺(jué)到的。
ASIO與DirectSound
ASIO的目的在于最大程度地降低系統(tǒng)播放音頻流時(shí)的延遲時(shí)間。也許有讀者會(huì)因此聯(lián)想到DirectSound——不錯(cuò),ASIO跟DirectSound的確十分相似,二者都是以設(shè)法繞過(guò)Windows操作系統(tǒng)對(duì)硬件設(shè)備的控制、直接與硬件端口取得通訊的思路來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)提高響應(yīng)速度的目的。不過(guò),ASIO的******性要比DirectSound更徹底一些:如果把DirectSound比喻成用高級(jí)語(yǔ)言實(shí)現(xiàn)的程序,那么ASIO就是用匯編代碼構(gòu)成的程序——不僅結(jié)構(gòu)更為緊湊,效率也大為提高。更何況,ASIO不僅是驅(qū)動(dòng)上的******,還需要硬件芯片的支持。在驅(qū)動(dòng)與硬件的緊密結(jié)合下,ASIO將延遲降至極低的程度是必然的事情。
不過(guò),如果你的聲卡僅支持ASIO而不支持DirectSound,那么就無(wú)法用Windows任務(wù)條上的小喇叭來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)音量控制,而運(yùn)行最常用的一些娛樂(lè)軟件,諸如超級(jí)解霸和WinAmp等的時(shí)候,也無(wú)法通過(guò)播放器界面中的音量推子來(lái)控制聲音的大小。
某些聲卡可以同時(shí)支持MME、DirectSound、ASIO、GSIF[2]等多種標(biāo)準(zhǔn),并通過(guò)軟件實(shí)現(xiàn)不同兼容方式之間的切換。對(duì)于那些需要兼顧專(zhuān)業(yè)創(chuàng)作和日常應(yīng)用的朋友而言,這樣的聲卡無(wú)疑是十分方便的。
哪些聲卡支持ASIO
并非所有的聲卡都能夠支持ASIO。如前所述。ASIO不僅定義驅(qū)動(dòng)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),還必須要求聲卡主芯片的硬件支持才能夠得以實(shí)現(xiàn)。在過(guò)去,只有那些價(jià)格高貴的專(zhuān)業(yè)聲卡,在設(shè)計(jì)中才會(huì)考慮到對(duì)ASIO的支持。我們?nèi)粘K玫穆暱ǎ▌?chuàng)新過(guò)去的SB Live!系列都屬于民用卡的范疇,所以沒(méi)有哪一款是配備了ASIO驅(qū)動(dòng)的。
有趣的是,SB Live!的主芯片EMU10K1本身支持ASIO,只是這一性能并未在創(chuàng)新自帶的LiveWare! 3.0驅(qū)動(dòng)中體現(xiàn)出來(lái)。因此,當(dāng)你將SB Live!的驅(qū)動(dòng)程序換成采用同樣規(guī)格設(shè)計(jì)的E_mu APS錄音卡的驅(qū)動(dòng)后,音頻處理軟件就會(huì)報(bào)告說(shuō)找到ASIO!
另一個(gè)比較有意思的例子是采用CMI8738芯片的各種多通道聲卡。CMI8738本身也是具備ASIO的潛質(zhì),只不過(guò)至今還沒(méi)有合適的驅(qū)動(dòng)將其發(fā)揮出來(lái)。
首款公開(kāi)聲稱(chēng)徹底支持ASIO技術(shù)的民用聲卡是創(chuàng)新最新推出的SoundBlaster Audigy。這款SB Live!的換代產(chǎn)品不僅提供了高達(dá)24bit / 96 kHz的聲音品質(zhì),而且還全面支持ASIO、SB 1394等最新的先進(jìn)技術(shù)。SB Audigy的面市,使得民用聲卡跟專(zhuān)業(yè)聲卡之間的距離又縮小了一層。
如何判斷與應(yīng)用ASIO
在音頻處理軟件的菜單欄中找到“Setup Preferences Audio”或是“Setup Audio Hardware”,在Device下拉選單中會(huì)列出當(dāng)前可用的音頻設(shè)備。如果聲卡不支持ASIO,那么下拉選單中就就只會(huì)顯示出ASIO Multimedia Driver一項(xiàng),這實(shí)際上是MME驅(qū)動(dòng)對(duì)ASIO的軟模擬;如果聲卡使用的是ASIO驅(qū)動(dòng),那么在此下拉選單中還會(huì)有另外一項(xiàng),例如MAYA ASIO Driver或SB Audigy ASIO。
將軟件的音頻輸出設(shè)置為ASIO設(shè)備后,播放多軌音頻、使用實(shí)時(shí)效果器以及使用VSTi軟音源時(shí)就會(huì)得到近乎完美的效果。不過(guò),要想真正達(dá)到“零延遲”(指延遲時(shí)間在10ms以下),還須對(duì)ASIO設(shè)備的緩沖區(qū)進(jìn)行設(shè)置。
單擊音頻屬性設(shè)置中的Control Panel打開(kāi)ASIO控制對(duì)話(huà)框,單擊Advance按鈕進(jìn)入高級(jí)設(shè)置。這里最重要的參數(shù)是Buffer Size,也就是音頻緩沖區(qū)的大小。一般來(lái)說(shuō),緩沖區(qū)設(shè)置得大一些,可以增加系統(tǒng)的穩(wěn)定性,緩解因數(shù)據(jù)傳輸或處理過(guò)程中的速度差異而導(dǎo)致的爆音現(xiàn)象;而把緩沖區(qū)設(shè)置得小一寫(xiě),則會(huì)提升系統(tǒng)的響應(yīng)時(shí)間,減少音頻延遲??傊?,緩沖區(qū)的大小設(shè)置,需要根據(jù)你所用電腦的CPU和內(nèi)存等硬件的性能而定。
設(shè)置好音頻緩沖區(qū)后,音頻軟件會(huì)提示說(shuō)環(huán)境設(shè)置已改變,要求進(jìn)行測(cè)試以保證將來(lái)的工作正常。測(cè)試的主要內(nèi)容是檢查數(shù)據(jù)包是否會(huì)有丟失,整個(gè)過(guò)程大概需要數(shù)十秒至1分鐘左右。當(dāng)看到如下圖所示的成功信息后,你就可以在音頻處理軟件中充分享受到“零延遲”所帶來(lái)的種種樂(lè)趣了!

Our Super Mario Bros. 2 walkthrough video guide will let you reach the past a higher level this uncommon Mario video game and hit the fundamental, terrible, end employer.
Super Mario Bros. 2 is definitely the hideous duckling in the Super Mario Bros. string and often is definitely the runt in the collection, whether or not the video game is an excellent identify from beginning to end. In the beginning released in China as Doki Doki Stress, Nintendo's creative designers swapped the main game titles characters together with the Mario galaxy and released it in the country as &Super Mario Bros. 2&Number8243 in substitute in the Authentic Super Mario Bros. 2 (Now acknowledged under western culture as &Super Mario Bros.: The Shed Stages). The thought powering the the lure and change was as a result of correct sequels resemblance of the main Super Mario Bros. and exactly how it video game was terribly troublesome. Nintendo's creative designers thought it will be TOO difficult for People in the usa and thus this Mario-ized sort of Doki Doki Stress was their priced.
Since People in the usa ended up not any-the-cleverer, Super Mario Bros. 2 had on a life of a and have become a favorite cult-vintage regardless of its true nature. So much that Nintendo's creative designers finished up making the overall game brother on their own after they re-released it for the Activity Child Improve (with considerable updates and improvements) as &Super Mario Improve without &Super Mario Bros. 2&Number8243 around the identify. The label-transform had also been in order to avoid gucci for men confusion, since the authentic NES video game was such a attack the united states that Nintendo's creative designers of China released it for the reason that state as &Super Mario United states of america.
The action is extremely strange and weird in several methods, which made it really exciting, and lots of the game titles opponents like Scared Fellas and Birdo second item grew to become string food staples and the main captivating Super Mario galaxy overall.
Super Mario Bros. 2 is available for get a hold of about the Nintendo wii game console Online Console for 500 Nintendo wii game console Things ($5) which is available on the action Child Improve (in up to date kind) as Super Mario Improve. What's more, it's found on the Super nes with up to date illustrations or photos included in the Super Mario All-Stars collection shield . NES in their authentic island kind.
