A user-mode ASIO driver for an unsupported XMOS XU208 audio board
Claude wrote a user-mode ASIO driver for a cheap XMOS XU208 USB audio board whose vendor drivers did not work, after a reverse engineering tool had examined those drivers.

The full story
The owner bought a cheap XMOS XU208 USB audio board that Windows could not use, and the seller's supplied "driver" did nothing. After two years, he used a reverse engineering tool on the installers and found they only bind to a different VID/PID; one build even asked users to disable driver signature enforcement.
The insight was that Windows already ships usbaudio2.sys and only an ASIO driver was missing. Claude wrote a user-mode ASIO DLL that streams through WASAPI exclusive mode, with no kernel driver or signature bypass. It gives two-channel output at 44.1 to 768 kHz, hardware volume and mute, selectable buffers and unplug detection, plus a test suite.
