The best sound output would be what sounds best to you. WASAPI would be consider best by most.

Hi Nohitter, I was just seeking to get the best sound output with my music. Cheers.

Thanks for any feedback.

That depends on what you are trying to do

Hi, I'm just looking for some education here. I am reading up about WASAPI and ASIO with music players. When I open MM's Player Options, I see three choices.

MM Direct sound
MM WASAPI
Waveout.

Presently, my default setting is MM Direct Sound. I'm running Windows 10 and a Z series soundblaster sound card. My question is, should I be selecting MM WASAPI as my output?

Thanks for any feedback.
