ASIO drivers for onboard sound?

I've got a gigabyte p965 ds3, is there any way to give it ASIO functionality? I'm using the digital output for what it's worth...

Forgot about ASIO4ALL, just installed, no more latency issues! Saves me having to hunt for my Emu.

Sorry to bump - but does this really work as well as a dedicated low latency soundcard?

i.e. will my Asus P5W onboard sound perform as well as my E-MU 0404 pci card?

The latency was a little lower (only 1 or 2ms) on my E-mu 1212m than it is compared to onboard.

I can't tell the difference myself, but some people might...

The only annoying thing is ASIO4all keeps forgetting my buffer settings, perhaps a new version may have fixed this.

I've intalled v2 just now and been testing out with onboard Realtek, and noticed a lot of pops and bumps indicating latency issues. I've set it to 512 samples (12ms in FL Studio) which should be ok.

I guess I should stick to the 0404. I would like the PCI slot back though for a proper wireless card, hence looking at this.

Is the E-mu 0202 USB any good?

Yep I ran outta PCI slots too.

I'm not sure about the E-mu 0202 USB, but I know the E-mu 0404 USB gets very good reviews...

Another option would be to use a USB wireless adaptor and stick the 0404 PCI in the PCI slot.

Yeah much cheaper to do that,and nowt wrong with the current 0404.

I guess this should go in networking, but seeing as you have good taste in kit - any recommendations on a new wireless USB stick + ADSL router combo?

Sorry I didn't see this thread until now, I used to use a D-link USB wifi adaptor a while back, seemed to work ok, and seemed to get a similar connection speed to my PCI wifi card.

I'm sure that if you make a thread in networking you'll get recommendations for specific models... I'm more into my sound that networking.
