8. Select the options you want for your audio input/output operations. For more information on
the settings in the Hardware Setup dialog box, see the user guide that came with your
Pro Tools system.
Your Avid editing application uses only 8 channels of audio output. Also, the application
controls the audio sample rate, not your Pro Tools|HD or HD Native hardware.
9. Click OK to close the Hardware Setup dialog box.
10. Click OK to close the ASIO Control Panel.
Once you configure the audio device, you can use your device to monitor output audio by
connecting headphones or speakers to the audio device.
11. Close the Audio Project Settings dialog box.
Configuring the Core Audio Driver (Macintosh)
You can configure the Core Audio driver using the Avid Core Audio Manager application. The
Core Audio Manager application launches automatically the first time your Avid editing
application accesses the Core Audio driver — for example, the first time you play audio on a
system with an HD Native or Pro Tools|HD card installed. If the Core Audio Manager icon is
hidden when first launched, click the icon in the dock.
Use Core Audio Manager to change the Core Audio Buffer Size setting and control volume and
mute for the Core Audio Driver. Core Audio Manager also identifies your audio hardware, the
supported number of input and output channels and the number of attached clients (applications).
