Dell has an asio driver for the realtek onboard chips. It is from realtek and not a wrapper and works great if you can;t bring your audio interface with your laptop. For monitoring it sound fine. Would not record through it.
If you want it google dell asio driver. Needs a simple trick to install on non dell.

 

The bad news about this: it breaks any virtual midi setup right now (loopmidi, rtpMIDI and so on). They simply don't exist anymore (unless they get updated). Atm there seems to be virtual midi ports installed by windows, but no app can handle or see them.

 

In complete agreement there. But where to? Apple is too expen$ive and proprietary for what you get in return, and as a corporation is just as bad as MS or worse. And Linux - ... well let's just leave it at that...

 

With all this nerdin' where does one find the time to engage the creative part of your brains. Apple too expensive my arse..

 

What kind of latencies do you get with this driver?

I'm asking, because I have downloaded it and installed it on my HP laptop and it doesn't work (no sound and I cannot select hardware I/O in Reaper ASIO settings). But I guess it's because I have the Microslop audio driver installed, not Realtek's proprietary one. I think this ASIO driver may require the presence of Realtek's base audio driver. Could this be the reason?
