Changes made in the control panel do not propagate between different audio applications
...Neither do they propagate between different users! This is not a bug, it's a feature! ASIO4ALL v2
stores settings per host application/per user! This makes it possible to have several instances of
ASIO4ALL run at the same time for as long as they do not try to use the same piece
of audio hardware
exclusively. This further allows having ASIO4ALL run in educational/computer lab type environments
without “user666” being able to f**** things up for
any user on the same machine, with the exception of
“user666” him/her/itself.

The latencies displayed in e.g. Cubase SX 3 do not match the values that would result from the
ASIO buffer size.
ASIO4ALL supports the latency compensation features of ASIO hosts that perform latency
compensation. This support is still a bit under development and will be improved as time passes. The
values reported here are not just the latencies ASIO4ALL adds
to the audio stream, but rather the
represent the whole of driver/OS/hardware inherent latencies. If the
guess was correct, that is...
Earlier Versions of ASIO4ALL did not make this attempt at guessing, so you may obtain a smaller
latency display with v1.x and other WDM->ASIO wrappers. The true (i.e. Perceived) latencies are at
least as good as with earlier versions
and on top of that, they do not change anymore when CPU
utilization goes up!
