4. Select the desired Input Driver. Depending on your computer's configuration, you may

have multiple options available.

Your Input Driver is typically your computer's sound card or audio interface’s input. You will

want to set this to the device that you plug your microphone, guitar, keyboard or other input

device into.

5. Select the desired Output Driver.

Your Output Driver is typically your computer's sound card or audio interface’s output. You

will want to set this to whatever your headphones or speakers are connected to.

If you are not sure about which option is best, use the following table as a guide.

I am using Suggested configuration

A laptop with an included sound

card.

Set both your Input Driver and Output Driver to

<name of your sound card> (MME 32-bit).

Note: If your sound card has multiple outputs, set your

Playback Device to the one labeled “Speakers” or

“Headphones”.

A USB microphone. Set your Output Driver to

<name of your sound card> (WDM / KS). Set your Input

Driver to your USB microphone.

You may also get good performance by using WASAPI.

An audio interface that I bought from

a music store.

Be sure that you have installed drivers for your new audio

device either from the included disc or the manufacturer's web

site. Set both the Input Driver and Output Driver devices to

<name of your sound card> ASIO.

A high-end sound card that I

purchased from a computer store

(Sound Blaster, etc.).

Some sound cards may offer different driver options. Start by

setting both the Output Driver and Input Driver devices to

<name of your sound card> (WDM / KS).
