Hi ,

using apis() I could not see ASIO in the supported host api's , Is ASIO not supported by PySoundCard ? Is there a plan for the support ?

Regards
sanjay

What operating system are you using? How did you install PySoundCard?

I'm assuming you are using Windows and the binary installer we uploaded on Github.

ASIO support is handled through the portaudio library. ASIO uses a very restrictive license that does not allow us to distribute portaudio with ASIO support. However, you can find precompiled versions of portaudio with ASIO support out there. Just replace our portaudio.dll with a version with ASIO support.

Have you been able to solve your problem?

Sorry, I could not try , I finally ended up creating a custom portaudio
application in C++ and using it from Python. I would give a try in sometime
.

Just for reference:
There seem to be pre-compiled DLLs with ASIO support here: https://github.com/adfernandes/precompiled-portaudio-windows.
I didn't try them, though.

If memory serves, these have debug printing turned on, which makes them pretty much unusable on the command line.

I've created DLLs with ASIO support (and hopefully without this debugging-stuff): https://github.com/spatialaudio/portaudio-binaries
Those are used in https://github.com/spatialaudio/python-sounddevice, but they could of course also be used in PySoundCard.
