The USB Audio Configuration Manager, when it is first installed, defaults to the “ASIO/EASI” setting. If you are using an ASIO compliant program such as Steinberg’s Cubase or Nuendo, or a program that uses “EASI” drivers such as Emagic’s Logic, then you should leave the configuration manager set to “ASIO/EASI.” The Duo provides its own ASIO and EASI drivers, and the music program you use should be set up to utilize the Duo’s ASIO driver (see the section, “ASIO/EASI Operation”).
If, on the other hand, you are using a music program that works with MME, such
as Cakewalk Pro Audio or Sonar, then you will want to set the configuration manager to operate under MME. See the section, “The Duo, MME, and Your Music Program.
Additionally, the Duo’s ASIO/EASI control panel can be launched from the USB Audio Configuration Manager. This is very useful in certain circumstances, and
is covered in greater depth in the section, “ASIO/EASI Control Panel and Operating Modes on the PC.”
