[GUIDE] Better Audio Experience with ASIO, Kstreaming, and WASAPI
ASIO, Kernel Streaming, and WASAPI are components that bypass windows kernel for processing audio signals. Windows kernel ( called Kmixer in WinXP) has a huge latency in processing audio signals, and it tends to decrease audio signal qualities at the end of the process (output).
These components were created to direcly access the low level towards of targeted hardware. In other words, it accesses directly to your soundcard, bypassing your Windows’ Kmixer. Not to mention in giving a tight and crystal clear audio listening experience… :)
In this article, i use foobar2000 and nVidia nforce audio via Realtek ALC850 as audio sources… of course add-on audio cards would sing better :)

enough the wizzy wozzy chit chats… let’s begin shall we..?? :)
