For some reason the Steinberg generic low latency asio driver seems to slow down loading of asio enabled apps on my Windows 7 Home x64 system. Does anyone know how I can totally remove it from the system?

cheers

My Computer->
Uninstall or change a program

the generic low latency asio isn't listed there.

Did you try running the installer?

I think you should go to 'device manager', choose your audio device, details, check driver then uninstall.

it's comes with steinberg products - i don't think the uninstaller will remove it.

ASIO drivers aren't listed in device manager so i can't uninstall it there. It needs to be removed from the registry i think

Strange. I though that in device manager you could see the driver (when active) on your audio device.

For what it's worth, you could try 3rd party tools like 'Your Uninstaller' or 'Driver Genius'/'Driver Sweeper' for a more thorough scan.

The registry key should be under HKLM\Software\ASIO if you want to start messing.

Rename or remove "asioglld.dll" located in Program Files/Steinberg/Asio. Back it up to be safe.

I seriously doubt that the generic ASIO driver is doing what you think. No one has ever said this before. Id be careful about trying to remove it. If you succeed, you may cause other problems. Id look elsewhere for the cause. You don't mention what soundcard youre using.

I got rid of it (thanks pljones). I removed the steinberg asio driver entries from

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ASIO
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Wow6432Node\ASIO

now the apps in question load much faster, like they should with an SSD. Previously I could actually see a progress bar window flash during the loading process that said "Generic Low latency ASIO driver" so that's how i knew it was the culprit. Still I've never seen it on other systems so I understand your disbelief.
