Looks like a large number of names for GB4 were removed from the spreadsheet in a recent revision. They're all there in the revision history though.

 

[danny_66]

I've restored the names from the revision history

Earlier in the thread there was some mention of ASIO drivers being in development for this board.

Is there any news on these? Are they still a possibility at some point?

ASIO drivers

Good news for all Windows users: ASIO drivers for the Combo384 are finally available.
This drivers feature DSD over ASIO (aka "Direct DSD", aka "Native DSD") and support for up to DSD512. To enable this it is necessary to use the latest 1.068 firmware (also fixes some resampling bug with ALSA under Linux). Both Foobar and JRiver support DSD over ASIO, maybe other players do too.

Most cards need to have both CPLD and CPU flashed in order to access these ASIO features, only the latest have the required firmware. The easiest way to know whether your card neds flashing is to simply test the features, if they don't work a flash is needed.

The ASIO drivers are installed on top of current WDM ones (1.056), they complement each other, so don't uninstall anything. Once installed all Windows output modes will be available: DirectSound, WASAPI (push and Event modes) plus ASIO.

The drivers are here (32 and 64bit):

Index of /drivers/asio

The firmware flashing tool plus its, very detailed, instructions (pdf and a jpg)can be found here:
Index of /asiohwd

Note: The flashing process starts by erasing the card as per the JPG instructions.

Note2: For those powering the Combo with an external PS, when the PDF says disconnect/reconnect from USB port read power off/on the PS instead. The idea is to reset the card and force it to upload the new code.

Note3: read carefuly the instructions and make sure they are well understood before starting to avoid problems.
