Figure 466. The (audio) Devices section

The Devices section displays a two-column list of available audio drivers. You can click the

corresponding check box to enable/disable a driver. Select the drivers you want to make available

for recording and playback. 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.

The Devices section contains the following settings:

• Input Drivers. Input drivers are used for recording.

• Output Drivers. Output drivers are used for 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.
