Appendix D: Using G-Node as a Sound Card
G-Node works as a general-purpose Core Audio device for Mac computers. With Windows 7,
G-Node is designed to work with ASIO applications because these are optimized for music
and provide the lowest possible latency. However, many "consumer-oriented" Windows
applications, like Windows Media Player, are not ASIO-compatible but instead use other
protocols. G-Node is compatible with these as well, and can function similarly to a Windows
sound card for playback (although with much better fidelity).
Please refer to the following sections on how to use G-Node with Mac and Windows
computers.
