Asio vs MME vs DX
Help neededDoes anybody know the difference between the Asio, MME and DX drivers, beside the fact that the latency can be set higher for the MME and DX drivers. I know that the asio drivers are used to get the lowest latency so that the time between playing on a midi apparatus and hearing what you have played is the smallest, but I have no midi apparatus. Therefore I wondered if I couldn't use the MME or DX drivers (so i can set the latency a little bit higher and get less audio clipping). Thanks in advance

with my previous computer i used DX driver, and of course it has high latency (>400ms) but i didn't care because i had no midi/synth/external controller to synchronize.
now i have an ASIO compatible soundcard and a midi keyboard. latency has to be very low (<10ms) to be playable.
MME i don't know but i think it sucks big time.
