Microsoft Sound Access
|

|
|
|

|
|
Microsoft introduced "Windows Core Audio" and "Media Foundation" with
|
||
|
|
Vista. Core Audio is a low level API useful for pro audio apps. Most
|
||
|
|
sound apps would use either Direct Sound or Media Foundation; these use
|
||
|
|
Core Audio for sound card access.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Microsoft does not plan to make Core Audio available for Windows XP.
|
||
|
|
Media Foundation requires Windows Vista or later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ASIO driver by Steinberg provides low latency access to the
|
||
|
|
sound card, but requires an ASIO driver on the PC. See
