Simultaneous WDM/ASIO Playback (PC only)
The 0204 USB only supports playing back one stream format at a time on the PC.
Each of the two mentioned stream types has an associated priority. If a higher
priority stream type is opened while a lower priority stream is already playing, the
lower priority stream will stop playing. The stream priorities, from highest to
lowest, are ASIO, WDM.
Headphone Source using WDM (PC only)
The Headphone Source feature only functions using ASIO at this time. The
Headphone output will be disabled if the Headphone Source in the 0204 USB
Control Panel is set to Aux 3/4.
USB 1.1 vs USB 2.0 Ports
The 0204 requires a USB 2.0 port for error-free audio performance. The E-MU USB
Audio Control panel indicates if you are connected to a USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 port on
your computer.
0204 USB comes up in USB 1.1 mode (PC only)
Always turn the 0204 USB power off before connecting or disconnecting the USB
cable. Hot-plugging the unit with the power on can cause the 0204 to power-up in
USB 1.1 mode. If you see the Windows message, “This device could perform
faster…”, simply turn power off, wait a few seconds, then turn power on again.
