For best performance and lowest latency, we recommend using an ASIO driver, if your dedicated audio interface provides one.
If no ASIO driver is available, you can use FlexASIO, which supports several Windows audio backends:
WASAPI (Windows Audio Session API):
A modern driver model. Offers relatively low latency and good stability. A good alternative if ASIO is not available.WDM-KS (Kernel Streaming):
Offers lower latency than MME and DirectSound, but can cause compatibility issues with some audio devices or system configurations.DirectSound:
A standard Windows audio interface with moderate latency. More stable than WDM-KS but not ideal for professional audio use.MME (Multimedia Extensions):
The oldest and most compatible driver model, but with high latency. Not recommended for real-time audio work.
Choose the driver that best matches your system and audio setup. If you're unsure, WASAPI is often a solid fallback.
