Aug 19, 2004 · While MME in most cases is significantly slower, if you are using an RME interface with Sonar, MME is your best bet. While M-audio cards support both ASIO and WDM, your other computer settings may make one or the other work better in software that can choose either.

Aug 16, 2019 · Voicemeeter will use your WDM output devices in Exclusive Mode. This avoids other applications to use the device at the same time. In contrast, MME uses the output device in Shared mode (other applications can use it simultaneously). The S at the end of the A1 device in the System Settings option denotes the device is being used in shared mode.

Jun 3, 2016 · Since Windows allows managing audio device with several interfaces (MME, WASAPI, KS, Direct-X), user needs to avoid audio device conflict: for example using the same recording device on input#1 and input#2 is possible with different interface (WDM on input #1, KS on input#2). Conflict can be possible also with output devices.

Mar 14, 2022 · However I'm not sure that the WDM Exclusive mode would help me at the moment since I am trying to reduce latency in MME mode. The Swift mode might be worth a try. I do no know how to directly change the buffer size on the inputs. NOTE: After experimenting, I did find that lowering the MME buffer size from 1024 to 576 helped quite a bit.

Apr 20, 2002 · The MME code was a shortcut through the overhead while still retaining the standard nature of the architecture. WDM = windows driver model, the new architecture for doing the same thing in the newer Windows OS.

Mar 26, 2003 · WDM drivers allow your software (Sonar) to talk directly to your sound card. MME drivers require Windows to be in the middle of the coversation. That is, the software talks to Windows, which in turn talks to the sound card. In essence, talking directly to the sound card should provide lower latency and better overall performance (less overhead).

Jan 2, 2019 · WDM always allow no sound volume choose. the xfire USB box do not work with lower as 512 samples WDM or KS. ponly with MME it work with 480 samples. so i guess it can work with lower samples too. but thanks to your test it is clear mme do not work with less as 480 sample. on soundblaster z (which is a modern soundcard) too

Nov 22, 2008 · In sonar PE I can choose ASIO MME or WDM. P. punkorama New member. Nov 20, 2008 #4

Oct 17, 2016 · Everything works OK if I use the MME driver for my soundcard. But the latency is too high for gaming. I have a powerful PC (6 core i7 CPU, 16GB RAM) so I wanted to try a smaller buffer. Sadly, when I use the WDM interface which allows the small buffers, I …
