ASIO Driver Capabilities
The ASIO Driver is a single-client, multichannel
sound driver that allows third-party audio
programs that support the ASIO Driver standard
to record and play back through qualified Avid
audio interfaces.
Full-duplex playback of 24- and 16-bit audio are
supported at sample rates up to 96 kHz, depend-
ing on your Avid hardware and ASIO-client pro-
gram (such as Cubase, Live, or Reason).
The ASIO Driver provides up to 64 channels of
input and output with the first HDX card in your
system.
