Core Audio Sample Rate - Windows Vista/Windows 7
On Windows Vista, the console displays the current sample rate as set by audio
software. You can also select the sample rate used by Vista/Windows 7 Core
Audio. Note that setting the sample rate for Vista/Windows 7 Core Audio will not
actually change the sample rate until an audio application begins to play or record.
Setting the sample rate for Vista/Windows 7 Core Audio will not affect ASIO.
Clock Source
Under clock source you may select the input clock source. The clock source
setting is used to synchronize your AudioFire hardware to another piece of audio
hardware. If a given synchronization source (input clock) is not detected, that clock
source will be grayed out. You will only be allowed to select input clocks that are
currently connected. For more information please refer to “Synchronizing
Multiple Devices” later in this manual.
If an external clock is selected and that clock is disconnected, the button will turn
red. You will either need to reconnect the clock source or select the internal clock
button.
Digital Mode (AudioFire 8 and AudioFire Pre8)
There are three different digital modes: S/PDIF coax, S/PDIF optical and ADAT
optical. Click on the mode that best suits your needs. For instance, if you want to
sync to ADAT, you will need to click on the ADAT optical button.
Note: At 44.1K and 48K there are 8 channels of ADAT available. At 88.2K and
96K there are only 4 channels of ADAT available.
