A sound app (Ableton Live), which was bundled with my Xonar D2X, requires setting the type of driver that the card uses (MME/DX or ASIO). Looking at the properties of the card does not indicate the type, so how does one know which is which?
Your card does support ASIO.
Asus Xonar D2X - Hi-FI Sound on PCI-Express - A nice and effective method to circumvent the DRM. Did I mention that it is legal? - Softpedia
How it actually performs, I dont know.
Take a look at this FAQ also.
