Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) is a computer audio interface driver protocol for digital audio specified by Steinberg, providing high data throughput, synchronization, and low latency between a software application and a computer's audio interface or sound card.
The scheduling requirements of JACK to achieve sufficiently low latencies were one of the driving forces behind the real-time optimization effort for the Linux kernel 2.6 series, [8] [9] whose initial latency performance had been disappointing compared to the older 2.4 series. [10]
A popular optimization solution is Steinberg's ASIO, which bypasses the audio platform, and connects audio signals directly to the sound card's hardware. Many professional and semi-professional audio applications utilize the ASIO driver, allowing users to work with audio in real time. [13] Pro Tools HD offers a low latency system similar to ASIO.
Most sound cards directed at this market support ASIO. If the hardware manufacturer doesn't provide ASIO drivers, there are other ASIO free alternatives, which can be used for any audio interface. ASIO drivers can be emulated, in this case the driver name is ASIO Multimedia. However, the latency when using these drivers is very high.
Asio is a genus of owls. Asio or ASIO may also refer to: asio (C++ library), a programming library for asynchronous I/O; Audio Stream Input/Output, computer sound card driver protocol for low-latency digital audio; Australian Security Intelligence Organisation "ASIO", a song by Redgum from Frontline "ASIO" a song by Benny Cristo
DirectSound is a deprecated software component of the Microsoft DirectX library for the Windows operating system, superseded by XAudio2.It provides a low-latency interface to sound card drivers written for Windows 95 through Windows XP and can handle the mixing and recording of multiple audio streams.
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) is a software framework and part of the Linux kernel that provides an application programming interface (API) for sound card device drivers. Some of the goals of the ALSA project at its inception were automatic configuration of sound-card hardware and graceful handling of multiple sound devices in a system.
While standard web conferencing software is designed to facilitate remote audio and video communication, it has too much latency for live musical performance. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Connection-oriented Internet protocols subject audio signals to delays and other interference which presents a problem for keeping latency low enough for musicians to play ...
