FWIW, here are the latest OEM drivers which are supposed to have bit-perfect ASIO support.
Version 7.12.8.1792 (Latest - 2010/10/29):
STX Driver for Windows 7 32/64-bits Version: 7.12.8.1792
1. Fix: When Play CS-S and Halp-Life under 64bit OS, There is no sound in Center channel and Side channel
2. Fix: When open GX function, Audio setting in new version Skype will cause crash issue.
3. Add GX & ASIO module version info in info page.
4. Add: Right Click Traicon, ASIO Control panel is selectable.
Version 7.12.8.177.31 (Beta - 2010/05/05):
Xonar Essence STX bit-perfect ASIO driver (beta) for Windows 7 32/64bit
1. Sample rate supported: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHz
2. Supports one ASIO playback stream (maximum 8 channels) to analog output.
3. Supports one ASIO recording stream (2 channels) from analog input.
4. Recording source (microphone in or line in) is selected by system mixer.
5. To keep the ASIO stream bit-perfect, the following two rules apply:
(1) The ASIO stream has higher priority of using DMA buffer than other streams. That is, when the ASIO stream is played, other streams cannot be played.
(2) No volume control is available for the ASIO stream.
6. When there are more than two ASIO applications running, only one application gets the right to use the hardware resource. This is based on “first come, first service” rule.
7. Current buffer time is set at 10ms, will be adjustable in later version
Notice
In Windows Vista/7 32- and 64-bit systems, users should use “Run as Administrator” to run ASIO applications to get the best performance.
