Audio Options dialog—Drivers
Dialog Reference
In ASIO mode, the current active ASIO device (remember ASIO can only
have one active at a time) reports its "Input Latency." You can't edit this
value. This supposedly accounts for buffer size, A/D Conversion latency,
etc. The checkbox allows you to use this reported value. It is checked by
default. In any case, the amount entered into the Manual Offset field will be
combined (added to) the reported value if you have it checked.
Audio Options dialog—Drivers
The Options-Audio command opens the Audio Options dialog box.
Choose the Drivers tab to display a two-column list of available drivers, and
selectively enable them by clicking the corresponding check box. You can
change the driver name by clicking the name in the first column and typing
in your preferred name, or friendly name, for the driver.
Input Drivers
These control recording.
Output Drivers
These control playback.
Use Friendly Names to Represent Audio Drivers
If you enable this check box, the Input and Output menus in audio tracks
and buses will use whatever friendly names you’ve created for your Input
and Output drivers. Friendly driver names are global, not per-project.
