    I have never had success with Realtek's ASIO driver in the past.
    I notice that I have it available on this rig, too, but i think it would be even less likely to work (pure guessing).
    But this USB Realtek (ALC4080) is sketchy enough without complicating things.
    It uses the USB bus instead of the PCi bus, and some people have had noise problems.
    I don't seem to have noise problems, but it has NOT worked well with Asio4all.
    After my failures to get Realtek ASIO working in the past it just seems unlikely, but who knows?

    I still have Asio4all installed + AsioLinkPro, and for many years that has been my combo for use in extracting surround movie stuff, LAN use, etc.
    I will also try this new Asio4all version, but i have a feeling it is just my USB driver/interface that sucks :rofl:

    Studio One 7.2.3 , ASIO4All 2.17 and native Behringer UMC 0404 Drivers same buffer size

    ASIO4All 2.17 @512 buffers

    CPU performance on a AMD Ryzen9 7900 is 0.5-1.0% lower on ASIO4All maybe because of the slower Output Latency.

    i like the flexible Buffer settings, 384 is a good deal between 256 and 512 where it is still possible to live input on heavy projects.
    or 96 Buffer is good between 64 and 128 Buffers for Drums. At least for me.

    i am keeping this driver for now, seems better than my years old Behringer Driver.
