<div>The ASIO bashing assumes consumer-grade hardware. If your DAC has an ASIO driver provided by the manufacturer, USE IT. If your device does not come with a stable ASIO driver, WASPAPI in Exclusive mode is the best option on Windows machines.<br />
----------------<br />
<br />
I am using two DACs and Wasapi output. With the Toslink connection everything works as I would expect, and Vista's mixer is without function. <br />
<br />
But via USB -in event mode- the Vista volume setting is still active. <br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
(Vista is set to exclusive mode in both cases).<br />
<br />
Thanks for any advice!<br />
