WASAPI has been available since Windows Vista. It isn’t its own set of drivers but rather a unifying layer for the WDM driver and the preceding mishmash of Windows audio APIs (MME, DirectAudio, etc). WASAPI supports low ish latencies with Exclusive Mode and then something like 10ms buffering in Shared Mode through the Windows audio server, I recall.

Put another way: any Windows audio device supports WASAPI unless it only ships with an ASIO driver which is unlikely, even in the pro audio space.
