Does anybody have any idea how ASIO4ALL drivers compare with soundcard ASIO drivers, for i.e. M-Audio's Audiophile 24/96 or Behringer BCA2000?
Please correct me if Im wrong, but I do suspect that ASIO4ALL would need more system resources (CPU power) when compared to drivers that come with an actual card.
Although I have ASIO4ALL running OK on my current AMDXP2600 system, I would still like to be informed about how ASIO4ALL realy works?

The scientifically correct, beyond-any-doubt answer, of course, would be: "It depends!" If you google around the Net, you will find folks using ASIO4ALL despite their hardware shipping with vendor supplied ASIO drivers. I am not going to mention particular products here, last but not least because if I did, the Google ads above would offer you these exact products for sale instantly  It should be obvious that ASIO4ALL cannot perform any better than the best possible conceivable vendor supplied ASIO driver for any audio device. As far as real world matters: From what I have learnt, the Audiophile 24/96 comes with an ASIO driver that is at least living up to the expectations, so to speak. The BCA 2000 is fairly new on the market and it would be interesting to learn if ASIO4ALL can be used to make an improvement here. The best way to answer the question is to find out yourself. It is fairly easy, for instance, to measure at least the ASIO round trip latency (i.e. input + output latency.) |
