Version 3.2.3:

WASAPI output support
By: Peter
Adds Windows Audio Session API exclusive mode output support, allowing bit-exact output and muting all other sounds. Windows Vista SP1 or newer required.

3.2 version highlights:
• Different default hardware buffer size for event mode - known to work better with specific soundcards.
• Different detection of stream formats supported by the device - should improve compatibility with certain SPDIF receivers.
3.2.1 version highlights:
• Fixed a crash bug from version 3.2.

3.2.2 version highlights:
* Compatibility improvements - removed the advanced preferences switch; the correct behavior is now determined automatically.
3.2.3 version highlights:
* Fixed 3.2.3 regression that made certain channel layouts not work.

In case it generates a lot of discussion as its pre-releases did, I think it may be best that we try to keep things in one thread. Worth a try, anyway!

The long-awaited update of the WASAPI output component has been released.

WASAPI output support
By: Peter
Adds Windows Audio Session API exclusive mode output support, allowing bit-exact output and muting all other sounds. Windows Vista SP1 or newer required.

3.0 version highlights:
* Faster volume control
* 32bit integer mode if 32bit floating-point is not supported by the device
* Operates in two different modes, regular and event-driven - the latter seems to be more compatible with USB devices, but not supported by some other devices.
* Separate process sandbox for improved stability.

Current version
3.0, released on 2012-09-02

Should I use push mode or event mode for an onboard soundcard?
Why is the hardwarebuffer 200ms for push mode and only 10ms for event mode?

You might want to avoid using useless scam software like that, which affects system performance and stability.

You probably tried both "push" and "event" mode of WASAPI 3.0?
