Windows DirectSound

A Windows interface between applications (such as Audacity) and the audio interface driver. It is one of the "audio hosts" selectable in Device Toolbar. DirectSound was released in 1995 as a replacement for the older MME and has an option to bypass the kernel mixer and so reduce latency.
