I didn't expect the routing caused latencies to be so low, especially not the listen feature. So your results are pretty good news IMO, for any of the configurations. I would like to know how well the non KS version of AudioRepater can compete. KernelStreaming is potentially more problem causing and propably also the reason for the issues some people report about Voicemeeter or like above, AudioRepeater. - I would expect comparable results to Voicemeeter KS/WDM. At least with low buffer settings....

Hmm... I'm using this VB cable / AudioRepeater stuff for years, so.. a long long time before anyone thought of HeSuVi. Since then I played a bunch of games also. I can't remember at ever having the kind of problem you describe. Neither I've heard such a thing from any of my mates with similar configurations. - But I agree with Voicemeeter for a general more stable setup. And even more stable... is the Windows listen feature.

Ok, I understand about the bit setting and agree with the higher priority on the latency. @Hi-Fi Cable you can forget about its ASIO feature. It's part of the control panel, not the driver. And we are not using the panel anyways, except to optimze the latency once. So I say no, it doesn't require an ASIO supporting soundcard to make sense. It just doesn't matter. - A real possible benefit of HiFi cable is that you will hear unmatching samplerate setting of the devices (crackling), while VBcable will...

Nice... and leads me to the following questions: Do you use 16-bit even on a 24-bit device for latency reasons? And... you can set samples in the VB/HiFi-Cable control panel too. Setting it to 1536/2048 resulted in a more sync clockrate for me. I guess HiFi Cable uses a default of 8192 while VB cable uses 4096. Is this default maybe the reason why you chosed VB over HiFi cable? (better latency) - Also I wonder why it isn't commented in the guide. I'm excited onto your exact messurements...

Yes, I check all those boxes. You want all 8 channels (7.1). The Full range Speaker boxes.... to be honest, I can't hear a difference. In theory it cuts off the low end of the audio signal to prevent damage on cheap speakers, when unticked. So... just tick' em all.

If your DAC is limited to 2 channels take a look here: https://sourceforge.net/p/hesuvi/wiki/Help/#voicemeeter-workaround-for-surround-sound But I suggest to install Hi-Fi Cable instead of Voicemeeter https://download.vb-audio.com/Download_CABLE/HiFiCableAsioBridgeSetup_v1007.zip Then root the virtual HiFi Cable cards output to your DAC. To do that, double click onto the virtual device in the Windows Sounds Recording tab. Then select the Listen tab, check the box and select your DAC. - The samplerate...
