Configuring WaveDriver for
Windows Media Player and
Other Third-Party WaveDriver

Panel.
2 Click the Audio tab.

dows Media Player, it automatically output to
your Digidesign hardware.
To configure WaveDriver for a third party
WaveDriver application:
■ In the third-party program, select the Digi-
design audio interface as the preference for your
playback hardware. Refer to your program’s doc-
umentation.
Adding Third Party
Applications to the
WaveDriver Opt-In List
The Digidesign WaveDriver uses an Opt-In list
to control third party application access to the
Digidesign hardware. Some third party audio
applications may not work with the WaveDriver
unless they are included in this Opt-In list.
For the latest instructions for adding and remov-
ing applications to the WaveDriver Opt-In list,
refer to the Digidesign Web site (http://answer-
base.digidesign.com/detail.cfm?DID=27424).
You may also need to add your third party
WaveDriver program to the WaveDriver
Opt-In list. See “Adding Third Party Appli-
cations to the WaveDriver Opt-In List” on
page 119.
You may also need to add your third party
WaveDriver program to the WaveDriver
Opt-In list. See “Adding Third Party Appli-
cations to the WaveDriver Opt-In List” on
page 119.
Modifying the Digidesign WaveDriver Opt-
In list requires editing the Windows System
Registry. Because editing the Windows Reg-
istry is dangerous, and can result in prob-
lems if not done correctly, make sure to
carefully follow the instructions for adding
and removing applications.
