Question / Help Issue with streaming Fl Studio with ASIO4ALL V2 driver

[Futari]

Hello!

I want to stream FL Studio 10 and the problem is that I have to use ASIO4ALL audio driver for my MIDI keyboard (for better latency). When ASIO is ON i cannot hear anything but FL Studio (Windows Default audio driver is OFF). Therefore OBS cannot capture any audio too. There is nothing concerning ASIO in Desktop Audio Device.

I had an idea to put Virtual Audio Cable between FL Studio and my headphones to redirect audio stream to OBS but VAC just doesn't see ASIO.

Any ideas how to make it work? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for the great streaming software!

I think the problem is ASIO itself, not sure OBS/VAC can work with that at all.

Let me get this straight, when viewing Recording Devices in Windows, you do not see your ASIO device, or any other one reacting to your MIDI keyboard?

There are only Microphone, Front Mic and VAC stuff. Nothing about my ASIO/MIDI keyboard.

But keyboard works perfectly nevertheless.

How have you connected your MIDI keyboard to the computer?
Using a sound card? Was there any software included?

I haven't touched ASIO and MIDI keyboards in ages, but let me know what setup you're rocking and perhaps I can pull out my old stuff, see if I can get it working somehow.

ASIO4ALL is pretty much exclusive to the program using it. If FL Studio is already using ASIO4ALL, I don't think any other application will be able to use it.

Perhaps you can set FL Studio to output to two devices? So you hear the instant sound from the ASIOALL drives. Because low latency is the main reason you are using ASIO4ALL right? And OBS can pick up the same sound from DirectSound perhaps.

Yes, I use ASIO to fix high latency issue.
FL Studio asks to specify one driver for both Input/Output, you just can't make them different.
When you choose ASIO in FL Studio, DirectSound becomes unavailable for OS. Even if you alt-tab and open any file with audio stream, you just won't hear anything until FL Studio is closed.

i guess I need to think of good second mic and speakers for solving this problem.

Thank you for the answers!
