ASIO drivers don’t let us know whether a device is connected or not, so you’re always going to see the driver once it’s enabled, whether the device is turned on or not.

WASAPI drivers and most other networked audio devices let us know whether the device is available or not, so they will generally disappear when the device is turned off.
