The new Steinberg built-in ASIO Driver: cool!

Hi there

I just found that the new Steinberg built-in ASIO Driver is free to download for anyone

It seems working better than WASAPI, and also better than ASIO4ALL, so I put the link here

With it, I am able to use the setting below, that is astounding to me

Considering that it is a generic ASIO driver developed to work with any sound-card, it means that the ASIO of some cheap cards is poor, very poor

I also tried the 2 ends of the range, and here is the result

BTW, some guys in the Cantabile forum argued that those Sample rates are ludicrous making their systems sluggish

I am unable to tell if they are just trolls, or if they are right, so can somebody explain to me what’s the use for Sample rates higher than 1950, and a latency lower than 10?

Wow, thank you! It’s great they have done this.

Hi Claudio.
Can it be used with two monitors? One with Reaper and the other with Youtube? AsioAll only supports audio output through one application. I use FlexAsio and it works fine for me.

2 monitors?
This is an audio driver, so it cannot impact on your video card
:thinking:

Ah wait, you mean using the same audio driver with 2 apps at the same time
I don’t know because I never used an audio driver this way

Yes. For me, It’s interesting because without leaving one application you can listen to the sound of the other. For example, using Reaper on one monitor and watching a video tutorial on the other. You don’t need to leave one application to listen to the other. :grinning:

Well, in that case, you can also use the WASAPI non-exclusive mode

Nevertheless, the reason why ASIO (and WASAPI exclusive mode) was created is exactly to isolate the audio-card to just one task that is making/playing music

Otherwise, both the stress on the system and the latency increase

Yes, indeed, but I am of the old school…
