Apollo Solo Manual Working With Apollo Solo 64
Windows WDM System Sound Notes
Windows WDM system audio is used for audio input and playback in media players, web
browsers, audio conference, and similar programs.
To ensure proper audio system functionality, follow these guidelines when using Apollo
Solo as the input and/or output device for Windows WDM system audio.
• Disable system notification sounds. Turn off all Windows system alert sounds
using the procedure detailed on the previous page.
• ASIO and WDM sample rates must match. All sample rate values in ASIO DAW
programs and WDM audio programs must be set to the same sample rate. If the
ASIO and WDM sample rates are not the same, audio from one or more programs
will not be heard correctly.
• WDM sample rate changes. Set the sample rate in Apollo Solo’s Console before
changing sample rates in the Sound>Playback or Sound>Recording control panels
within Windows. Note that WDM programs may need to be closed then reopened
to be heard correctly if the sample rate is changed in the Sound control panel
within Windows.
• DAW sample rate changes. If the DAW sample rate is changed, WDM audio will no
longer be heard correctly because the sample rates no longer match. In this case,
the WDM sample rate must be changed in the Windows Sound>Playback panel to
match the DAW sample rate.
Additional Windows Optimizations

news and system optimization information.
Using Apollo Solo Without Audio Software
Apollo Solo and Console can be used without a DAW or any other audio software. For
example, Apollo Solo can be used as a signal processor for live performance when a
DAW’s recording and playback features are not needed. In this scenario, Console controls
Apollo Solo’s digital mixing, monitoring, and Realtime UAD Processing features.
To use Console by itself for input monitoring and Realtime UAD Processing, there aren’t
any special considerations — simply launch Console and start using it.
Note: Because Apollo Solo is powered by the computer’s Thunderbolt 3 bus,
standalone use without a computer is not possible. Apollo Solo can only be used
when connected to a Thunderbolt 3 computer.
