Buffersize/Buffer
When transporting audio data within a computer
(e.g. recording or playing back a signal), they are
chopped in equal blocks called “buffer”. That
means, they are a certain time frame out of a
complete signal. The number and size of the
buffer defines the delay time (latency).
Direct Sound / Direct X
DirectX is a Windows™ system-software, which
allows hardware manufacturers, to support
different input-, graphic- or sound functions with
their hardware and thereby accelerate it.
DirectSound is a part of DirectX. A DirectSound
driver creates less CPU load and enables faster
latency times than a standard MME driver.
Driver
A driver is a package of software, consisting of a
couple of single programs or a part of a
software, which ensures communication between
a hardware device and other drivers or software
applications on standardized level. Certain
interfaces are used doing this.
