When ASIO is chosen as the audio system, the ASIO-enabled device becomes the input/output source. ASIO Mode: Input detected over USB, can’t select Windows audio ( e.g. Now that we’ve explained the various audio systems, lets troubleshoot some common audio issues when working with DAWs. For example, many USB DACs, audio interfaces, and digital effects pedals have dedicated ASIO drivers available directly from their manufacturers. ASIO is the preferred audio system for input recording if you have a hardware device with its own ASIO drivers. ASIO: A dedicated hardware-level driver, it typically has true bitrate support and virtually no latency.So if you have a DAW open in WASAPI mode, you will not hear any audio from a YouTube video in Google Chrome – because WASAPI mode in the DAW has taken exclusive control of the audio driver. WASAPI: This is similar to DirectSound, except that it uses an “Exclusive” mode, which means that whatever app you’re using WASAPI mode in will take complete control of the audio driver.WDM Kernel Streaming: Another ancient legacy audio mode that is a little less CPU intensive than WaveOut, but should be avoided.WaveOut: An extremely outdated predecessor to DirectSound, this should never be used, unless your audio drivers are so borked it is somehow the only thing that works ( I’ve seen this before). The problem with DirectSound for recording with live monitoring ( real-time playback while recording at the same time) is that DS introduces a large amount of latency, as your input ( guitar, keyboard, etc) passes through the emulation layer before being output. It is a universal way for all audio devices to work properly with Windows. DirectSound: Belongs to the Microsoft DirectX API.
