MENU AND DIALOG REFERENCE

D If there is no specific ASIO driver, you should select the Direct
Sound driver for the audio hardware.
This makes Reason communicate with the hardware via Direct Sound (a part
of the Microsoft DirectX package). For this to be possible, you need to have
DirectX installed on your computer, and there must be a Direct Sound driver
for the audio hardware.
D If the audio hardware doesn’t support Direct Sound (i.e. there is no
Direct Sound driver for the audio hardware), select the MME driver
for the audio hardware.
This makes use of Windows Multimedia Extensions, the part of Windows
that handles audio, MIDI, etc. Using MME often results in larger latency val-
ues (see below).
Audio Card Driver – Mac OS X
This menu lists all the available Audio Card Drivers on your system, and lets you
select which one Reason should use. Which option to select depends on the
audio hardware:
D Normally, you should select one of the driver options that start with
the word “CoreAudio”.
Select the option that corresponds to the hardware you want to use (the
built-in audio connectors or some additional audio hardware that you have
installed).
D Other options may be available, mainly for compatibility with all
possible hardware/software configurations.
You should use these only when required.
