## What it is
RS ASIO is a runtime patch for Rocksmith 2014 Edition - Remastered that injects fake WASAPI devices backed by ASIO audio drivers, enabling low-latency audio on Windows. It is distributed as DLLs placed in the game folder and configured via an INI file.

## Use cases
- fix audio latency in Rocksmith 2014
- use an ASIO audio interface with Rocksmith
- avoid WASAPI driver issues in Rocksmith
- play Rocksmith with low latency guitar input
- route Rocksmith audio through an audio interface on Windows

## When to choose
- you play the Steam version of Rocksmith 2014 on Windows and have an ASIO-capable audio interface
- you experience crackling or latency with the game's default WASAPI audio

## When to avoid
- you play a non-Steam version of Rocksmith or another game
- you only have 64-bit ASIO drivers, since only 32-bit drivers are detected
- you use NoCableLauncher or similar tools that conflict with instrument detection
