Adjusting Audio Project Settings
You can use the Audio Project Settings dialog box to check the current
configuration of audio hardware and to select various input and output options.
The Audio Project Settings dialog box has four tabs: Main, Input, Output, and
Hardware.
n
Some options depend on the audio configuration of your system, so your
system might not contain certain features and hardware that are covered in the
documentation.
To open the Audio Project Settings dialog box:
t Double-click Audio Project in the Settings scroll list.
For more information on the Audio Project options, see “Audio Project
Settings” in the Help.
Configuring the Sound Card (Software-Only Systems)
Depending on the sound card installed on your Avid system, you might need
to customize the configuration of audio input and audio output. Usually this
configuration occurs automatically when you install the Avid application.
Some sound cards, however, require further customization to ensure full
compatibility between the application and the audio hardware on your system.
In these cases, you can use the Sound Card Configuration dialog box to map
audio input sources to specific audio output sources.
c
Improper configuration of your audio hardware can cause the audio
input and output features of the Avid application to function incorrectly.
Use the Sound Card Configuration dialog box only if you experience
problems with your audio output.
n
Configuring your sound card to ensure compatibility is necessary only if your
Avid application is a software-only model. If Sound Card Configuration does
not appear in the Settings scroll list, you do not have to configure your sound
card.
To customize the sound card configuration:
1. In the Project window, click the Settings tab.
The Settings scroll list appears.
