Getting Ready to Use the U-8
Making Audio and MIDI Settings in Windows
This section explains the settings according to your computing setup for
how the sounds that Windows outputs (warning beeps and audio output
from Media Player or the like) are handled.

(A) Sounds from Windows are output from the sound
card, and sequencer sounds are output from
the U-8 (recommended)
You can make the settings so that the
Windows are both output with the U-8, but when you do this, operation is
as follows.
• Playback of audio data with a sampling frequency of other than 44.1
kHz (such as the default warning sounds in Windows) may not be
possible.
• Because high-volume audio data is used for warning sounds, when they
are output together with the sequencer's audio data, the volume may be
very loud.
• While using the U-8's audio with Cakewalk Home Studio U-8, warning
sounds may not be heard, or effects may be applied to warning sounds,
or warning sounds may be produced from the computer's internal
sound card.
Issues like the ones just described don't occur for audio input or MIDI
output. Follow the steps on the next page to make the settings that
correspond to your computing setup.
