Audio Configuration

Gadwin Rockmer can use the old-fashioned Windows Multimedia Extensions (MME) and DirectSound (DS) interfaces to exchange audio data with the sound card, or it can use an ASIO driver, if available.

What is ASIO?

The term ASIO, was coined by Steinberg some years ago as an abbreviation for “Audio Streaming Input Output”. It defines a rather fast communication method between the audio hardware and an audio-processing program, such as a Gadwin Rockmer. An ASIO driver, if available, normally performs better than a MME or DS driver, since it has considerably less overhead, allows multi-channel communication and so on. If your sound card came without an ASIO driver, you might try to use ASIO4ALL driver, which can be found at http://www.asio4all.com. It can work wonders compared to the MME and DirectX drivers that are normally provided with the sound cards.

Use Options->Audio Devices menu to configure the audio device properties.
