FlexASIO is a universal ASIO audio driver for Windows built on the PortAudio library, allowing any ASIO host application to use any Windows sound API (WASAPI shared/exclusive, Kernel Streaming, DirectSound, MME). It is not tied to specific audio hardware and is configurable via a TOML configuration file.

Use cases

• use ASIO with audio hardware that has no vendor ASIO drivers
• run ASIO applications in shared mode so other apps can play audio simultaneously
• achieve low-latency audio for DAWs like Cubase
• bit-perfect audio streaming bypassing the Windows mixer
• select between WASAPI, KS, DirectSound, and MME backends for a single ASIO driver

When to choose

• your audio interface lacks its own ASIO drivers
• you need shared-mode ASIO so other applications can use the sound device at the same time
• you want one universal ASIO driver with multiple backend options and configurable settings

When to avoid

• your audio interface ships with its own vendor ASIO drivers that already work well
• you need ASIO on Linux or macOS - FlexASIO is Windows-only
• you want a simple GUI-only setup without touching configuration files (though FlexASIO GUI exists as a third-party helper)
