Then I upgraded my soundcard with an M-AUDIO thinking that it would be better. I play electric guitar through my computer (with plugins) and I've always thought that ASIO4ALL had terrible sound quality compare to DIRECTSOUND. I'm glad that you asked this question, since I've been thinking about this subject for a long time. ![]() Only if something hidden/overlooked is going on like application volume control, some DSP (Bass enhancement, loudness compensation, etc) such a substantial difference can be explained. To the best of my knowledge, WASAPI in/exclusive, ASIO, all have the same loudness. The reported difference in loudness I can't explain. volume control the output is not bit perfect by design.Īs it is USB it is also possible that the Win master and/or application volume is still active in Exclusive mode because volume control is part of the USB audio standard. This is the way to get automatic sample rate switching.Įven if this works and in case of a DAC with some kind of indicator one can check, bit perfect is still not guaranteed. Only the stream played by this media player will be audible. If you can select drivers in the media player, selecting WASAPI/ Exclusive will lock the audio device. In itself this won't make a difference, everything keeps on playing. ![]() This is indeed the setting uses by WASAPI/Shared mode and allows for multiple streams.
