The only reason I ever use asio4all, like most others, is using a sub-optimal internal/non dedicated audio device with better latency so I only use this when not on my desktop workstation (with dedicated external soundcard/asio drivers). I can run Studio One and play/tweak VST's with 6ms delay vs 40ms using the windows driver. If you want to use the latest features you can still use Boost.Asio as long as you are happy to copy it over the top of your Boost distribution.

New versions of both the Asio and Boost.Asio packages will be created on a faster release cycle than that followed by Boost. On my laptop that I use occasionally for producing, I want to be able to run a DAW in low latency in combination with windows sounds, for obvious reasons such as e.g. In that case, using Asio over Boost.Asio is suggested. Not that I owe you an explanation but here's my use case: Qu harnesses the full potential of digital mixing technology, with total recall of settings (including the all-important fader position and preamp gain). If you don't like it, leave it and don't start acting like a smartass starting to explain the very basics every producer with a little experience knows. Your response is downright offensive while I'm just sharing a workaround with the community. You might consider getting some additional English classes using dumb and no offense in the same sentence. When I'm messing with my audio I can still enjoy Youtube using my normal speakers I have 2 pairs of speakers around my PC: one connected to my normal (internal) soundcard (used by Windows on default) and 2 studio monitors hooked onto my Komplete Audio 6 which are used by my DAW through ASIO (I even use Asio4All sporadically). why not? It's obvious you don't care about latency in the first place.Īlso also (no typo): use a dedicated audio interface for your DAW will do wonders too. So instead: just use whatever driver your OS provides. It defies the very thing why ASIO became a thing! sorry, that looks plain out stupid to me. Taking control of an audio device is what defines ASIO. The reason for this should be obvious: latency, or better: the reduction of it. ASIO bypasses several layers of your OS which normal drivers would take and instead it accesses the hardware as directly as possible. The reason why I think this is plain out dumb is because you obviously don't understand the reasoning behind ASIO and how it works (and why!). Now, I don't just downtalk, there's a reason behind it. Use whatever driver your OS provides so it can operate in shared mode. This is a dumb thread, no personal offense intended, but if you don't want to have exclusive control over an audio interface then.
