I'm thinking it might be time to look into ASIO. I've heard ASIO drivers don't
use the Kernel Mixer at all, so maybe they use the native controls. (Anybody

come with ASIO drivers, but lately I've been hearing about ASIO4ALL which is
supposed to work with any sound card. Starting to sound better and better!

ASIO has no mixer interface, it is just a low latency capture and playback
API.


Thanks, Chris. I understand that ASIO is commonly used for professional
recording systems, and that it doesn't use the Kernel Mixer. That would make
me think that pro recording software doesn't include any mixer functions of its
own and relies on the user manually opening up and using the sound card's
proprietary mixer. Or is there some other driver standard analogous to ASIO for
mixer functions?
