Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved

Nothing to design around- so what do you need Wasapi,
ASIO, and Kernel Streaming for? Nothing to design around,
just skip it. Why should you need any of these in the first place? Who would design a System requiring them for
Audio, and why would they design it that way? Why don't
any Computer Manufacturer's include these in their O.S.
Software? How many years have these 3 Audio Software
patchworks been around? Why does it take three hours to
download an hours worth of High Rez. Downloads. Technology moves forward, anything that doesn't keep up falls behind.
Everything Computer wise non-Musical has moved forward by leaps and bounds. Compared to this Computer Audio has not kept up. Anything that doesn't keep up falls behind. If it
is behind the curve, and no-one cares to change this, what
is the point of making it the only Alpha Audio Format?
This is only an extreme exercise in redundancy. There is
only one ultimate conclusion, no sense in even including a
redundant Computer Audio Application in a Computer. It
would just be inconvenient taking away processing power from other more popular, and useful Applications. Now I
am trying to keep Computer Audio relevant, and avoid this.
You can't have Computer Audio relevant by making Audio
irrelevant. This lack of logic can only snake around and
bite you...you know where! Convenience over Sound Quality
makes Audio irrelevant. Well, we used to listen to Music-
a long, long, long ,long, l-o-n-g time ago. Slippery slope
a long way down, and no going back. Hope you know what you are doing, I have my doubts! Don't you "LIKE" Music?

is it just me or when you see a really long diatribe do you just tune out??? my computer audio works great and i look forward to progress.....nothing personal pettyofficer.

Pettyofficer, all that and you gave me nothing to take back to manufactures... no substances rants just don't work.

Pettyofficer,

You need to buy a mac for your computer audio. Sounds like you need help to set a PC up. PCs can be a pain. ASIO is there because a computer is an open ended machine. You tell it what you need it to do & then in most cases it does it.

It also sounds like your Internet speeds could be slow. If it is slow to download why not download your audio overnight? No need to sit & wait. Personally I find it quicker than getting in the car & driving to a store.

Hfisher,

I quite bait. It makes for a good snack.

My apologies Timlub, that was not meant for you. It
would seem that ASIO patches are required to bypass
much of the processing involved with O.S. Computer
Audio. Why was this extra Processing installed prior
to requiring Wasapi, and Kernel Streaming? Why not
include Wasapi, and Kernel Streaming as standard for Computer Audio?
Music File type is a never ending open ended
affair no doubt requiring alot of Processing for all
of these different Music File Types. It is simply way
too many chefs here radically spoiling the broth. We
need some consistency here, a Standard that will allow
all Customers to plan ahead to establish their Computer
Audio for High End. You have Computer Audio going in fifty different directions with 50 different File Types, 6 plus
different Formats with a New One every week, multiple
ASIO Patches, maybe thousands of different permutations
based on these alone. Computer Audio is so open ended
that it would dissolve in water. Can't get a grip on it
if it just runs between your fingers. What is the selling point here? What is Computer Audio? Anything that you want it to be! Then what is it that I am buying so that I know
the value compared to what I am required to give up for it? There is no answer!
The biggest issue Timlub, is that Computer Audio
SHARE the market with other Audio Formats until Computer
Audio can decide on some direction. Let it mature, and
develop some consistency in reliability. If enough people
appreciate that, they will switch. It is just that you have inpertinent children who can't wait that long. They
want to shove it down everyone's throat yesterday, and
shove all other Formats out 10 years ago. They do not
understand the words "Gradual Transition" for the sake
of concideration with other Customer's. Historically this
is how you create a new Audio Market Format, not by nuking everyone who is unsure! You guy's creep me out, and you are only succeeding in scaring away the Customer's-WHY?
