Configuring the Sound Card
Depending on the sound card installed on your Avid system, you might need to customize the configuration of audio input and audio output. Usually this configuration occurs automatically when you install the Avid application. Some sound cards, however, require further customization to ensure full compatibility between the application and the audio hardware on your system. In these cases, you can use the Sound Card Configuration dialog box to map audio input sources to specific audio output sources.
 |
|
Improper configuration of your audio hardware can cause the audio
input and output features of the Avid application to function
incorrectly. Use the Sound Card Configuration dialog box only if you
experience problems with your audio output.
|
 | |
Configuring your sound card to ensure compatibility is necessary only if
your Avid application is a software-only model using the Windows
operating system. If Sound Card Configuration does not appear in the
Settings scroll list, you do not have to configure your sound card.
|
To customize the sound card configuration:
| 1. | |
In the Project window, click the Settings tab.
|
| 2. | |
Double-click Sound Card Configuration.
|
| 3. | |
For each input source in the Record/Input list that you want to map,
click the matching Output Source pop-up menu from the
Playback/Output list and select an output source.
|
| |
You can map an input source to only one output source at a time. The
options available for mapping depend on your audio hardware.
|
| 4. | |
(Option) If you do not want an input source mapped to an output
source, select <No Match> from the corresponding Output Source
pop-up menu. You might need to do this, for example, if your system
lists more input sources than output sources.
|
| 6. | |
(Option) To let Windows map the input to the output, select Use
Windows Mixer.
|
The rest of the options in the dialog box disappear.
To reconfigure the sound card to the original application settings:
|
|
Click the Default button.
|
|
|
Clicking the Default button applies the default settings immediately.
You cannot cancel the reconfiguration once you reset the default
options.
