M-Audio Duo quick start Hardware & Software Installation on the PC, Cubase, or Emagic’s, Sonar

The Duo can be used with the Sound Manager on the Macintosh, or with the Windows Sound System in Windows, and therefore can operate as your system

sound card. If your software is ASIO or EASI compliant, such as Steinberg’s

Cubase	or Emagic’s	Logic , we suggest using the ASIO or EASI drivers. These
drivers will allow you to monitor audio through your music program with greatly
reduced latency. The WDM drivers that are used in Windows ME, 2000, and XP
will give you similar monitoring capability when using a music program that
takes advantage of them, such as Cakewalks’s			Sonar	.
