After you set the sample rate and play or record audio in your application, the Sample
Rate field on the Console’s Settings tab will show the sample rate you selected.
You do not need to adjust sample rate in the Core Audio sample rate section except
when using RIP as a more traditional Windows sound card. See Appendix E.
Optimizing ASIO Performance with Windows Vista
The ASIO driver supports Windows Vista’s multimedia thread scheduler (also called
MMCSS), which allows more reliable, lower latency performance.
The ASIO driver automatically uses MMCSS, which is
highly
recommended. However,
you can disable it if you want to give priority to another application that’s running at the
same time.
Open your application’s ASIO control panel, usually accessible from within an audio
Preferences window. It may be called ASIO Panel, ASIO Control, Hardware Setup, etc.
For example, with Live Lite 7 Gibson Studio Edition, the ASIO panel is located in the
Audio tab under Preferences (located under the Options menu) and called Hardware
Setup.
Uncheck “Use Vista multimedia priority boost” to disable MMCSS.
Uncheck “Lower Vista window manager priority” to prioritize drawing windows on
the screen over audio.
