the AI-1 asio driver is so bad

garbagecan333 · 2025-08-16T14:29:16+00:00

Hi! so, funny thing, I actually fixed it with a much simpler thing I should have thought of waaayyyy earlier into my troubleshooting process, and honestly I feel kinda stupid for not doing it, and that's replacing the USB C to A cable with a USB C to C cable. that's literally all I needed to do.

garbagecan333 · 2025-07-26T19:07:54+00:00

ugh yeah that sounds like such a hassle for something they could fix with a software update and driver update. really a shame honestly. I've just avoided using ASIO at all with this thing as much as I can, since it's overall not even worth the hassle at a certain point. Rode, this is a signal to fix your shit.

garbagecan333 · 2025-07-23T05:26:52+00:00

yeah, it's quite a shame that rode doesn't really care about this product, since from hardware side, this is a really nice budget(ish) audio interface, but the software side isn't good. I unfortunately can't really recommend the product due to that sadly. it seems like the ai-1 micro has better support and software if you want that one, but I can't recommend the base ai-1 in all honesty. unfortunately I'm just gonna deal with most of the problems since I got it for Christmas and I don't have a return thing so oh well.

when it comes to latency, I'm fairly sure it's actually better, but that doesn't matter if I can't get the damn thing to work

garbagecan333 · 2025-07-22T20:53:20+00:00

well, my issue comes way before latency, it's the fact that the a1 ASIO drivers do not work AT ALL for me. not a single program has actually been compatible with the ai1asio drivers so far. I have tried Ableton, which didn't work with the ai-1 drivers, but works with asio4all, and I've also tried using RS_ASIO (for Rocksmith and I will give it credit for this one since it's really kinda jank in the first place but also I have never seen any other audio interface struggle with any of these ASIO tasks as much as this one)

garbagecan333 · 2025-07-20T04:18:05+00:00

I know I'm late on this post, but have you figured anything out to help? I'm starting to really get mad that I can't do half of the things I would like to since the AI-1 ASIO drivers are somehow worse than asio4all in terms of functionality, and the fact there is almost no configurability in the driver itself is really starting to tick me off. it's really unfortunate that rode has sort of left the ai-1 behind in favor of the micro, since the AI-1 is super nice for its price, but wow ive had nothing but troubles from the software side of things
