"Drivers do not have sound, and do not affect the sound. Maybe people who think this way do not really understand the process."
good one. At least you are here to set us all straight.

Yup, I feel better already. I've got a whole mental locker of such tawdry aphorisms including such golden oldies as Nixon assuring me that "your president is not a crook". They just make life more...more... interesting?

why don't they make the O/S and player software out of the same code used for drivers, then it would all sound the same and we could relax and listen to music.

Do you realy have to be joining the two stooges? Beneath you IMO...I am sorry that you misunderstood what I was saying. Of course as Tony said anything "CAN" have an effect on sound.
The function of a driver is to interface with the OS and in that regard it is not there to alter sound.
Do you have different sounding drivers for the interface you use?
Some like XMOS may have settings for buffers etc...
The comments regarding Windows not having built in support is pretty useless IMO.

until you hear music played without a driver you won't know how much it affects the sound.
I've tried the windows native driver for 16/44.1, didn't sound that good.
I've read numerous reports where people say this or that driver sounds better or worse.
My problem with drivers is that for usb attached devices the driver has to interface with the client for every buffer loaded meaning multiple user to kernel mode switches. If people were serious about sound quality the driver would just get passed the pointers to preloaded ram and just render the music in kernel mode. MS does this with waveRT, but that's just for PCIE cards.

Blow the dust off a suitable device and software then compare the results when using the ASIO4ALL and AQVOX USB drivers, hardware identical.
Night and day? Well, certainly coffee break and half past four.
