Before I started using the WASAPI plugin with Foobar, I was getting annoying glitches and other interference coming from the PC. Sometimes it would correlate with doing something with my mouse. Once I started using WASAPI all that unwanted noise simply stopped. I can't say whether the SQ is otherwise improved, but just getting rid of those unwanted glitches and other noise is reason enough for me to continue using WASAPI and being thankful there is such a simple and easy to implement solution to those issues available to me.

x3 Sorry to revive the thread, I needed to show my thanks to WASAPI. No more annoying glitches, for example with direct sound when I plugin or out the power cable of my laptop it glicthes, with WASAPI it doesn't, I have tested like 10 times in both case, scientific fact, but it is like magic.
