ASIO4ALL. Although the ASIO protocol doesn't officially support multiple devices unless they have dedicated drivers, there are a couple of notable exceptions in the case of generic multi-device drivers that allow several completely different interfaces to be combined.
Can you run 2 audio interfaces at once?
Without multi-device drivers, there's no way to install and run two or more identical audio interfaces in a computer, since the operating system would have no way to differentiate between the various units.
How do I add a device to ASIO?
How to set up your interface and DAW with ASIO4ALL
- Go to the Windows Start Menu and open ASIO4ALL Offline Settings.
- Select your interface by clicking the button next to it. It will light up blue when selected.
- Open the input/playback settings menu of your DAW and select ASIO4ALL as the input/playback device.
Do I need ASIO 4 All?
ASIO4All is perfect if all you need is playback from the DAW, but you don't have an audio interface connected. I have occasionally used it that way myself, to play some mix in the DAW when I had my laptop with me but, for some reason, none of my audio interfaces around.
