How to: Realtek/ASIO4ALL laptop settings

[Geppastro]

I see several users having difficulties with a quite common setup, i.e. a Windows laptop with Realtek internal AUDIO and ASIO4ALL audio driver. Just for the reference of a working setup, here you are my relevant working settings.

Studio → Studio Setup → Audio System:

Studio → Studio Setup → ASIO4ALL:

Studio → Studio Setup → ASIO4ALL → Control Panel (click the bottom right cogwheel):

Studio → Audio Connections → Outputs (internal speakers):

Studio → Audio Connections → Outputs (headphones):

Hope it helps.

Nice guide, can I add a link to mine ?

Audio Setup Guide - for Windows users

This guide will explain how to output the audio from both Cubase and Windows at the same time. If you want to be able to listen to audio from Cubase, Windows or any other program at the same time, and record in multiple applications at once, the following points should be observed : You audio interface driver must be multi-client compatible, The sample rate must be the same between all programs, You must disable Exclusive Mode in Window, You must disable Release Driver in Cubase. All these…

Cubase LE 12, Version 12.0.60, Build 453, Surface Pro 7, Win11 - Installed ASIO2ALL v2, had to manually set headphones as “Main Mix” in Audio Connections.

Solved headphone playback. Previous version auto-selected headphones.

Still working on Track playback…

newbie here. I almost got so frustrated during by cubase trial period that I was going to give up. I finally purchased Cubase Artist last week and this guide just made my life so much easier!!! Just trying to watch a tutorial video at the same time Cubase was open was causing my audio drivers to crash.
