Installation for Windows

1. Download and install an ASIO Driver. It is recommended to use a sound card with a native ASIO driver, or install this free ASIO driver before installing Jamulus.

2. Afterwards download and run the Jamulus Windows installer

3. If you get a warning notice, click on "More info" and "Run anyway" to install Jamulus.

4. When you're done, have a look at how to setup ASIO4All (scroll down) if you you're using that, and Hardware Setup.

You can also compile your own binary if you feel so inclined.

Setting up ASIO4All

ASIO4All is not recommended if your audio interface provides its own ASIO driver, since that might have better latency.

First of all close all applications (especially those which could access your soundcard like your browser) to minimize conflicts. If you’re using the ASIO4All driver, make sure only the correct inputs/outputs in its control panel are switched on. To change them, open Jamulus's settings, go to "ASIO Settings", enable advanced view (click the tool icon on the bottom right) and open your soundcard inputs by clicking the plus icon next to the soundcard name. Next enable/disable the correct inputs/outputs.

You may need to experiment a bit to find the right ones since every computer is a bit different. Do this while you're connected to a server to hear your instrument or voice and check if everything is correctly setup.

If nothing works, try to restart Jamulus and/or your PC. Enabled and accessable inputs/outputs show a lit up on/off button and a play button. If you see a red cross or a yellow symbol, you might need to close other applications. More info about how to configure ASIO4All can be found in the ASIO4All manual. This can most likely be found on your desktop or in the folder where the ASIO4All binary is installed (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\ASIO4ALL v2\).
