Conclusion: When should I use the DirectX driver?
Since both the DirectX and Multimedia drivers have limitations, you may want to
combine these during the same session, for example recording with the Multimedia
driver and switching to DirectX for mixdown. Use the following guidelines to de-
termine when to select which driver:
Select the ASIO DirectX driver if:
• You only need to play back audio, not record.
• You do not have or need several audio outputs.
• You want to be able to play back audio from two or more applications simul-
taneously (and they all support DirectX).
Select the ASIO Multimedia driver if:
• You need to record audio.
• If you don’t find the higher latency a problem during playback.
● Again, if you have a
dedicated
ASIO driver for your audio card, you should
always use this, rather than the DirectX or Multimedia drivers.
