Im going to show a bit of ignorance…but its all in the name of learning…
I don’t exactly understand what picking an audio device in the preferences does. For example, I have an audigy 2 (don’t get all crazy on me for having a creative card…its just what I have…) so, in my audio device list I have several choices (Microsoft sound mapper, direct sound surround mapper, windows classic wave driver, creative asio, sb audigy asio [df00])
When I pick a different device what is actually happening? Is vegas using a different driver to play audio? I guess im just wondering what is going on “under the hood” so to speak. All that said, how do you decide what device to use? (besides surround support).
Now, here is where it gets really confessing to me. If I pick creative asio or sb audigy asio [df00] I get a warning saying that the device does not support the current sample rate or bit depth. But this happens no matter what the sample rate and bit depth is. It seems like an audio device has to support some sample rate and bit depth…or its not a sound device.
I hope this question makes sense…
Thanks in advance for you willingness to set a beginner straight.
