+1. Many on board audio cards use this driver and let me tell you, my laptop sounds like poop unless hooked up to a decent ASIO interface.tetsuneko wrote:I hope you are not using Directsound.. on certain boards it resamples all output and you can kiss your high freq definition goodbye.

At least the rendered audio is unaffected, so the culprit must lie in the DAC?
I do notice that my MOTU 828 sounds better than my M-Audio Firewire Solo. I've heard people deny differences in audio interfaces as a source of quality difference, but I can hear it for sure.
