hey,

i've just installed WDM drivers for
my yamaha WF-192 soundcard and notice
the CPU usage jumped 4x when simply
playing MP3 with winamp.

with the previous driver,
which btw was dx7 certified.
it would only use about 8-9% of CPU usage.

now with WDM driver it jumps to 36-38% .
it seem obvious to me that with WDM driver,
the audio play-back aren't being accelerated.
like it was before....

and my soundcard is capable of accelerating
64 channels of audio in hardware too.

does anybody noticing similiar findings,
with their soundcard and WDM drivers?

thanks for any comments or feedback....

cheers
