INTERPOLATE POSITION FOR INACCURATE DEVICES DEFAULT: CHECKED
Specifies whether Sound Forge XP should interpolate the position of the play
or record position pointer during playback. If this option is not checked,
Sound Forge XP relies on the device driver for the sound card to provide the
correct position of the pointer during playback or record.
Many sound card drivers do not report their position accurately. If the
play/record position pointer does not move smoothly you should enable this
option. You may also want to contact your sound card manufacturer for
updated drivers.
If your sound card driver does not have accurate position reporting, your Mark
In/Out positions will also be off when dropping markers while playing.
POSITION BIAS (-64 TO 64) DEFAULT: 0
Specifies an offset value that Sound Forge XP should add to the position values
returned by the sound card wave driver during recording or playback.
