Hey,

I am using Reason with Behringer UCA USB card because I just happen to have pair of them (was DJing some time) and I just tried ASIO4ALL with my integrated ALC887 just for fun and I was very surprised as it outperformed the Behringer (lower stable latency).

Anyone else using ALC887 with Reason? Observations? Tips? I have heard there is some "hidden" ASIO driver by Realtek floating around on the internet only shipped with premium-priced cards.

If your onboard chip with ASIO4ALL outperforms your Behringer card, i wouldn't look for another ASIO driver. It won't improve your audio, and if you have good latency, why look elsewhere? Chances are that it actually worsens your ASIO performance. At least that was the case with the manufacturer ASIO driver for my consumer card.
