Playback
Audio playback
Driver selectionHere you can specify whether the Windows Wave driver or the
DirectSound driver will be used for audio playback.
• DirectSound is a component of DirectX and, if necessary, is installed together
with MAGIX Video Pro X5. DirectSound has the advantage that the sound output
(for all modern sound cards or onboard soundchips) can also be used by other
programs open simultaneously.
• WAV drivers are recommended if the CPU load is higher, as the larger buffers
allow better handling of the load peaks (otherwise this would cause crackling).
Output device: Use this option to specify which sound card plays the wave audio
objects. This is especially important if you have multiple sound cards installed on your
computer, e.g. "onboard sound" as well as an additional sound card.
