So far, only IIDX and SDVX support ASIO. The games look for a specific sound card, [Asus Xonar AE](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/wiki/Asus-Xonar-AE). If you purchase this card and install it, it will just work. Alternatively, you can use options in Spice (`-iidxasio` and `-sp2x-sdvxasio`) to override this to use your own ASIO device.

> Software ASIO drivers, such as ASIO4ALL, ASIO4ALL v2, FlexASIO are **not** going to provide you with better latency in most cases. They are receiving ASIO and then converting them to WASAPI Exclusive or Shared in the back end. If your hardware does not natively support ASIO, stick to **WASAPI Exclusive** for best performance. These are only really needed in case where the game is incompatible with your audio device.
