2.0 Direct Monitoring”. This will cause our ASIO driver to reject any Direct
Monitoring commands and prevent the mute on startup. Of course, it also means
that you can’t use Direct Monitoring.
Using SONAR
Here are the required settings for using SONAR with our driver:
Note:
The settings below will need to be reset every
time you reconfigure your
wave devices.
Go to Options/Audio.
•
On the “General” tab, set “Audio Driver Bit Depth” to 24.
•
On the “Advanced” tab, we suggest selecting “Trigger & Freewheel”
•
On the “Driver Profiles” tab, uncheck “Access Driver In Mono”. Be sure
to set “Stream > 16 bit data as” to “32 bit PCM, left justified”.
You may get a message that your audio devices are not compatible with the
specified format; you may need to restart SONAR several times. Make sure each
time that the settings are correct; once SONAR starts successfully without the “not
compatible” message, be sure to run the Wave Profiler under
Options/Audio/General.
To get the smallest possible latency, you should only enable input and output
drivers that you actually intend to use.
We recommend that you try using SuperChannel mode in combination with
SONAR; using SuperChannel mode can make SONAR more efficient.
You can find more info in Appendix E: PureWave and SuperChannel.
