What is ASIO interface?
ASIO (Audio Stream Input Output), is a proprietary multi-channel audio interface, developed by Steinberg, which bypasses the operating system's mixing kernel to provide the lowest latency direct communication between the media server and the sound hardware.
What is an ASIO audio device?
Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) is a computer sound card driver protocol for digital audio specified by Steinberg, providing a low-latency and high fidelity interface between a software application and a computer's sound card.
What is ASIO used for?
ASIO addresses all areas for pro-audio recording, including flexibility with sample rates and bit depths as well as synchronization between different media like audio, MIDI, and video. As a result, the user gets a low-latency, high-performance, easy-to-set-up-and-control recording solution.
Is ASIO better than Mme?
There is no difference in sound quality between ASIO and MME. The difference is in the signal getting from the soundcard to the speaker. ASIO is much faster.
