Hi all. I need a little help getting this up and running….
What I have is:
Breakaway broadcast asio (latest version)
Windows 7 32 bit home
Marian trace alpha sound cardI was using this system with an Maudio delta 66 but there was occasional glitching and I wasn’t happy with the card overall so I decided to go with the recommended Marian Trace Alpha. I installed the card and the drivers and all was good. I could see input levels on the Marian trace mixer so I was confident that this was going to be a walk in the park…. Hmmm
I selected the ASIO Marian trace option in Breakaway config but could not get any levels into Breakaway. I have been trying every option I could think of with no success. I even reinstalled the Maudio and it worked fine. I’m confused???One other thing I noticed was that the pipelines were not available options in Breakaway config, but not sure if they’re meant to be..
Any help is very welcome.
Ok..
The alpha card works when I use asio4all but still fails to work with its own drivers. I tried to look for older drivers but there are none available that I can see..
Any ideas on what I should do. Should I stick with asio4all?

You best stick with the asio4all drivers, Marian is lacking to make decent drivers for vista/ win7, for the 64bit version there are still no drivers available. How about that?
If possible use Win xp and everything will work fine.Hi GuntherM
Thanks for the reply. I can’t go to xp at the moment but I will stick as you suggest with asio4all.
At least I can get on with it now instead of wondering if I messed up somewhere, so thank you again.
Not a very good introduction to the highly recommended Marian cards 🙁Ant
I had the same problem, setting this card up to feed an FM transmitter.
When I put the solid-state hard drive into the computer I used, I also switched to XP. That made the Trace Alpha happy & the system has been reliable since.
Oh… I don’t bother trying to use the ASIO function. Since nobody has to listen to the transmitter in real time, the delay isn’t a problem.
I also had to put in a second card (this one of a different type) in order to feed digital into the software because of the different sample rates. Didn’t see that one coming, but I suppose I should have. Now, I run digital from the studio to the composite output of the processor… sounds very good.
I’ll add that all ASIO4ALL is doing is providing a software ASIO later that interfaces with the card’s Kernel Streaming interface. So the only thing you’re doing by using ASIO4ALL is adding latency. You’ll get less latency and potentially more stability by just using the Kernel Streaming (KS) already built into Breakaway.

How can that be true, since you can’t use KS in BBP ASIO directly? And BBP doesn’t have similar low latency mode as in BBP ASIO, there’s still 100 ms or so core latency, plus the I/O buffer?
I might be wrong but..
It has all four modes in it. 100, 4, 3, and 2 millisecond core latencies. Look in "Settings" where it says "Phase Linear".

Did you try running the installation .exe file in compatibility mode set to Windows XP? If I had the Marian card, that’s what I would have tried.
