Looking into the matter, it seems to affect portaudio when I select the 
sound chip of the laptop, but not when I select ASIO4all. I haven't 
tried my RME Hdsp yet.

Also, when turning off DSP, the tick left of the selected audio output 
mode disappears (ASIO or MMIO). It reappears once you re-enable DSP.
