Of main interest is the driver version, as users may visit the M2Tech website from time to
time to check for availability of more recent driver versions and eventually go for an update
to download and install.
By clicking on “Buffer Settings” the user accesses the window to set the buffers through
which the driver exchanges data with the operating system or directly with the player (Fig.
39). Two drop boxes are present, one for the buffer shared with the operating system and
one for an ASIO buffer (which bypasses the operating system and needs a specific
setting). As a general rule, a small buffer is to be preferred when low latency is required
(e.g. when the
HIFACE Evo Two
is used to listen to a movie’s audio). In any event, a small
buffer needs frequent data transfers, which may result in “holes” in the audio stream when
the CPU is heavily loaded or when one of the active drivers doesn’t comply with the time
specification of the system.
