Audio Settings

After launching ReCycle, you should open the Preferences dialog (Audio Page)

on the Edit menu and check the Audio Card Driver settings.

The Audio Preferences with an ASIO driver selected.

Selecting an Audio Card Driver

The first thing to do is to select a driver for your audio card. All available drivers

are listed on the Audio Card Driver pop-up menu. Select after the criteria listed

below:

If you are using audio hardware for which there is a specific ASIO

driver, you should select this.

With an ASIO driver written specifically for the audio hardware, ReCycle can

communicate more or less directly with the audio hardware.

If you select an ASIO driver, some additional items will be available in the Audio

Preferences:

If the card and its driver supports it, the “Clock Source” pop-up al-

lows you to set an external source to which the audio playback can

synchronize its sample rate.

Please refer to the documentation that came with your card for details.

The ASIO Control Panel may contain settings specific to your audio

card.

Please refer to the documentation that came with your card for details.

If you have an audio card with multiple outputs, you can select

which output pair you wish ReCycle to use by clicking the “Chan-

nels...” button.

This item will not be selectable if you use a card with only a regular stereo

output.

If there is no specific ASIO driver, you should select the Direct

Sound driver for the audio hardware.

This makes ReCycle 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. The Audio Preferences dialog changes ap-

pearance if a Direct Sound (or MME) driver is selected.

The Direct Sound driver for a soundcard selected.

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 may result in a noticeable

latency,

causing the audio playback to be slightly delayed. In the case of ReCycle,

you would notice this in that playback started slightly after you clicked the

Play button, for example.
