Dec 20, 2009 No. ASIO bypasses completely the windows drivers. The problem is if the sound-card manufacturer creates ASIO drivers with a wrapper to windows drivers. The ASIO4All is a wrapper using Kernel Streaming, for example. The RME sound-cards have pure ASIO drivers, no wrapping at all.

ASIO support
By: Peter
Provides ASIO output support.
Version 2.1.2 highlights:
* Fixed phase inversion with 32-bit output.
Please note that this component is meant for systems where ASIO is the only available output method. It is highly recommended to use the default output modes instead of ASIO. Contrary to popular 'audiophile' claims, there are NO benefits from using ASIO as far as music playback quality is concerned, while bugs in ASIO drivers may severely degrade the performance.
