So asking which API is better without looking into individual product is pretty meaningless. Some devices (especially pro audio interfaces) have additional onboard DSP and FPGA and they also require drivers to work, the drivers can override WASAPI behaviour as well. ASIO drivers, unless the generic ones like ASIO4all, are distributed by individual hardware vendors, you can't assume they work all the same. In general, don't generalize things and assume one API is always better or worse than the others. One of them contains official information from Microsoft as well. I compared DS and WASAPI in the video.Īlso read the link from Microsoft I posted:Īnd read every link I posted in this thread.
