Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver (Windows Only)
On Windows systems, you can use the Generic Low Latency ASIO
driver. This driver provides ASIO support for any audio hardware
supported by Windows, thus allowing for low latency. The Generic Low
Latency ASIO driver provides the Windows Core Audio technology in
Cubase. No additional driver is needed. This driver is included with
Cubase and does not require any special installation.
NOTE
This driver should be used if no specific ASIO driver is available.
Although the Generic Low Latency ASIO driver supports all audio
devices, you might get better results with on-board audio cards than
with external USB audio interfaces.
Mac OS X Drivers (Mac only)
If you are using a Macintosh computer, make sure that you are using the
latest Mac OS X drivers for your audio hardware. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to install the driver.
Testing the Audio Hardware
To make sure that the audio device works as expected, perform the
following tests:
• Use any software included with the hardware to make sure that you
can record and play back audio without problems.
• If the hardware is accessed via a standard operating system driver,
try playing back audio using the standard audio application of the
computer, for example, Windows Media Player or Apple iTunes.
