some days ago i first time connected my play plus to my new laptop … i know what i could expect by doing this but once you see that you can link each of plays tracks into different mixer channels in your daw is soo cool. it puts the play into another level .
but i have one tiny proble can m . after some time playibg so i recognise some little cracks in the sound . sounds like a bit like latency problems .when i turn off play in asio4all and turn on again its away for some minutes and sometimes it doesnt start again to crack for a long time …
i dont use the original polyend usb cable cause i cant find it ( i think my exgf stole it to use it for her mobilephone:-))
and i think this could be also the reason of my problem . so is there a special cable that i can buy from somwhere that is recommended by polyend or maybe polye d sells cables ?
You can get a replacement cable from Polyend directly:
Else any USB 3.0 or upwards cable will do just fine.
Regarding audio crackling:
Make sure that you are running ASIO4ALL at 44.1khz and experiment with the sample buffer size.
You could also give VB-Audio Matrix a try:
I had the same issue as you and ASIO4ALL never really liked my audio interface.
I heavily recommend trying the Matrix Coconut that @Sandroid posted. That software has been a godsend to aggregate many of my devices in once place and it just works. All the audio glitches are gone, and it’s as solid and stable as software gets!
Another worthwile option to try is FlexAsio.
No issues on my side with it. Even if it doesn’t work for you, you won’t lose much as it takes like 5 minutes to install and set up.
Here is my config.
thx for the answers ! cable is ordered and now im gonna check that asio4all alternatives .
play plus to me is so great cause it has enough cool elements and features and also the flow of work is awesome . to create something with a standalone box , a battery and some headphones ,while its so funny to play with it, the outcome also sounds ok enough that it dont feel like wasted time was to me very good reason to spend some money .
but connected to a DAW brings this to a complete new level . and i just tried audio , there is also midi connection which i didnt tried out but i got lots of ideas for this . really really cool machine !
