It may be a stupid one at that. I'm trying to use ASIO with a supported soundblaster XI FI Xtreme Gamer soundcard.
At this time I am outputting everything from the computer's mainboard HDMI to my receiver.
Do my speakers actually have to be connected to the soundcard to get ASIO to work or is there a way to send it back to the HDMI output and onto my receiver? Should I just be using WASAPI if it is being routed with HDMI?
