Click OK. See the following chapter, ”More Information on Configuring Session,” for further explanation of this.

More Information on Configuring Session

To play back and record audio in Session, Session must communicate with your sound card. On first launch, Session attempts to choose the first sound card containing both an audio input and audio output, effectively making this connection automatically. If Session is not able to select audio inputs and outputs automatically, it will open the Audio Hardware dialog. If the process is successful (Session does not open the Audio Hardware dialog automatically), but you cannot play back or record audio with Session, you’ll need to open the Audio Hardware dialog by choosing Options>Audio Hardware.

The Audio Hardware dialog contains the following options:

ASIO/WDM Switch

This control switches the Audio Hardware dialog of Session between ASIO and WDM mode. For best performance in Session, use ASIO mode. Consult the documentation for your sound card to determine if it supports ASIO.

Output and Input Device Selectors

These controls set the Output Device (sound card) through which Session plays audio, and the Input Device (sound card) from which Session records audio. It is recommended that you select the same sound card for audio input and output.

Buffer Size Selector

This control sets the latency of Session. See the “About Latency” section found later in this guide for additional information.
