What you wouldn't be able to do though is tap into an ASIO stream - so by using ASIO4ALL you're probably going along the right lines. Its not really about SQ, but more about what the system sends (hidden resampling by windows for the non-technical user, non support of some data rates, etc), how often it is interrupted/disrupted (latency issues). Good luck with that - it can potentially be a bit of a nightmare to get that to work - but it should, unless I'm mistaken. 4,425 2 As long as the correct data reaches the DAC in a reasonable time frame, there will be exactly zero differences. WDM is a kernel streaming platform which came a bit later, still very widely used. MME stands for 'Microsoft Multimedia Environment,' and is supported in almost all PC audio applications. But if you're using ASIO4ALL it doesn't have to! All you need to do is to configure VAC so that it picks up the streams you want to interconnect. MME is an older and widely supported Windows audio driver. WDM stands for 'Windows Driver Model,' which has improved performance in latency over standard type drivers in Windows based systems only. So nothing else is having to handle ASIO - simply because it can't. For why this is necessary, you have also to bear in mind that Windows is trying to get in the way of everything you do - calling it an 'operating' system is a bit of a joke. And that's what it does for Audition - converts its inherently ASIO-based I/O so that it runs with Windows-based drivers.Īs far as I'm aware, VAC can't tap into a real ASIO stream, as the purpose of this is to cut out most of the operating system between the ASIO output of your software, and your audio device - which is how it decreases the latency. Please use the Steinberg Generic Lower Latency ASIO Driver, if your audio. You have to bear in mind that ASIO4ALL isn't an ASIO 'driver' as such - it's a means of converting ASIO-based software so that it will run with native windows audio - MME and WDM. For technical reasons, Windows MME driver support has been dropped in WaveLab 10.
