WASAPI seems to work a treat on my laptop. ASIO4ALL is glitchy as hell. It’s not really a problem, but I would like to understand why and if this may indicate an issue further down the line. ASIO4ALL was working ok until I installed a different chipset on my Ryzen 5 4500u to remedy constant fan noise. Then had to switch to WASAPI to get any decent sound. My system is Realtek.
Any thoughts on why ASIO4ALL would become unusable after a chipset change?
What is your audio hardware? In general I think one will get best results with something modern that includes a native asio driver. I had problems similar to yours when I used an ancient A-Audio delta-66. Since replacing it with at Stenberg UR22C things are much less glitchy.
