Bug 303. Some ASIO sound cards not working with either ASIO system in PAMGuard.
For the PAMGuard ASIO system, this was due to a data format used by some sound
cards never being properly implemented. For the “New ASIO system” which
is based on jAsioHost, the unpacking of that format contained a bug which
returned incorrect numbers, so data were swamped with noise. Both systems are
now fixed. By preference, users should use the PAMGuard ASIO system since the
JAsioHost based system seems to drop samples when many channels are running at
high sample rate. </span></p>
