Driver settings

Audio Performance

The US-122L driver temporarily stores input and output audio samples in buffers.

The Audio Performance setting lets you adjust the buffer size. The Lowest Latency setting is the minimum buffer size, and the Highest Latency setting is the maximum buffer size.

A smaller buffer size will reduce the delay when monitoring the input signal, but will require your computer to perform the pro-

cessing faster. If the processing does not occur in time (e.g., if other system opera- tions are occurring), you may hear clicks, pops, or dropouts in the audio signal.

A larger buffer size provides more safety against such problems caused by other sys- tem activities, but will produce greater delay when monitoring the audio signal. The US-122L lets you select the buffer size that works best for your system.
