8 Working with Third Party Applications
8.1 Compatibility
The drivers included with your AES16 provide
compatibility with all standard third party digital
audio applications that communicate with
Windows Wave audio, DirectSound, Audio
Units and ASIO devices. A list of applications
that have been tested for compatibility is
provided on the Lynx web site at
http://www.lynxstudio.com/swlist.html
.
8.2 AES16 Devices
Third party applications communicate with the
AES16 through its installed driver. The driver
presents the AES16’s audio capabilities to
applications as standard multimedia,
DirectSound or ASIO devices. Most, if not all,
third party applications provide device selection
in configuration, options, or preference setting
windows or menus.
For two channel or stereo audio applications, a
separate selection option is typically provided for
the input or recording device and the output or
playback device. Multitrack applications provide
multiple input and output device selection menus
or windows. Refer to the documentation
included with your application to determine how
to select audio devices.
With the AES16 properly installed in your
computer, the digital audio devices will be
available to applications, and their names will
appear in their device selection menus as
follows:
AES16 Record 1 AES16 Play 1
AES16 Record 2 AES16 Play 2
AES16 Record 3 AES16 Play 3
AES16 Record 4 AES16 Play 4
AES16 Record 5 AES16 Play 5
AES16 Record 6 AES16 Play 6
AES16 Record 7 AES16 Play 7
AES16 Record 8 AES16 Play 8
When more than one AES16 is installed in your
system, the device names will contain a numeric
adapter ID assigned by the operating system. For
example, the analog output device on adapter 2
would be listed as “AES16 2 Record 1”. Refer to
the “Configuring Multiple AES16’s” section
below for more information.
