ASIO 2 Driver
ASIOTM (Audio Stream Input Output) is a proprietary audio driver architecture
and a trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH. The Xonar DX driver
package has included an ASIO2 compatible driver for application programs that
have ASIO or ASIO2 output. ASIO can ensure lower latency during playback and
recording on PCs, which is very important for professional music creation and
editing. The Xonar DX package also provides Ableton Live and Sonar LE audio
editing software, which all support ASIO output. The setup reference is described
below.
