We still have the issue with ASIO on Windows only supporting one sound card at a time. ASIO4ALL can present an aggregate device, but in this case, if I understand correctly, Mixxx's clock sync code is irrelevant. Users have reported crackling using ASIO4ALL this way (

Ok, I have read a bit more. The only reason that justifies asio4all is to combine a Asio card with no WDM driver and a WDM card with no Asio driver. Using asio4all without any other Asio device is just an unnecessary software between Mixxx and the soundcard. Using two WDM soundcards via asio4all

To be clear, onboard sound cards and USB class compliant sound cards (which includes every sound card listed on the wiki) should both work with WDM-KS? Are you sure all onboard sound card drivers work with WDM-KS? So we should we edit the manual to recommend using WDM-KS in this situation?
