Additional VxD console settings –all products

The first checkbox is called “Enable DirectSound for analog outputs.” This

allows you to enable or disable the DirectSound driver for the analog outputs only.

The second checkbox is called “Enable DirectSound for digital outputs.” This

allows you to enable or disable the DirectSound driver for the digital outputs only.

DirectSound can only support a limited number of outputs, so if you have several

audio devices with a large number of outputs you may not be able to find the

output you are looking for. In this situation, you can disable some of the

DirectSound outputs, and then when you restart you should be able to find the

DirectSound output that was missing before.

The third checkbox is labeled “Lock DirectSound format.” This allows you to

force the DirectSound driver to playback files at a certain sample rate and bit

depth. It also allows you to lock it to stereo or mono.

This setting only applies if you are using software that uses multiple DirectSound

outputs simultaneously, such as the applications offered by Stage Research. For

this reason, it defaults as disabled.

Note:

This is not the same as the “sample rate lock” feature found in the

Console.
