AudioBox USB®96
Owner’s Manual
Block Size. Sets the buffer size.
From this menu, you can set the buffer size from 64 to 8192 samples.
Lowering the buffer size will lower latency; however, this will also increase
performance demands on your computer. In general, you will want to set
the buffer size as low as your system can safely support. If you begin to hear
pops, clicks, or distortion in your audio path, try raising the buffer size.
Note: When adjusting the block size, the Safe Mode will automatically change to provide
the best performance.
