MME is extremely antiquated.I would avoid WASAPI and use ASIO if it's available.
Apparently that card will do 24/192, with it's ASIO drivers.http://www.asus.com/Sound_Cards/Xonar_U7/specifications/
ASUS audio GUI and ASIO drivers can be buggy.
You should set your "default" audio device in Windows to your onboard audio device (what came with your computer) and then use the Asus in your recording application. This way any sounds generated by your system or other software are directed to your default audio device and not mixed with your U7. Even a stream that has no audio (like a mic input) could be active and invoking some sort of mixing.
You may even be able to record directly from the U7's GUI (Creative Soundblaster products came with a recorder).

With some device drivers such as the Windows USBPAL driver for the Mytek Stereo 192-DSD DAC, you will get a mixer between the USB stack and the ASIO stack. This will create problems if the USB stack is active at a different sample rate than that chosen by the ASIO application, not to mention sound quality issues. If you mind "You've got mail!" mixing with your music then you can set the Windows default audio device to be a different device, such as a motherboard sound card.

That's a good point Tony.
I did have an "ASIO mixer" that was a WDM model driver and it was going mixing this way with non-Asio streams. I was quite shocked when it happened because I didn't expect sound (I was doing the "can't play other sounds test" and whamo I got OTHER SOUNDS lol.)
If you mind "You've got mail!" mixing with your music then you can set the Windows default audio device to be a different device, such as a motherboard sound card.
I've been saying this for almost a decade now! lol.
Set onboard sound to "default audio device" and select "Use only default devices". Then use other (good) interface in the background.
Cheers,
Presto
