Applying Output From Wave Applications To Optimod - Orban OPTIMOD-PC 1101 Operating Manual

OPTIMOD-PC
This caveat applies only when you are using OPTIMOD-PC's WAVE inputs. If you are
using only OPTIMOD-PC's hardware inputs and have the WAVE inputs turned off in
the OPTIMOD-PC I/O mixer, then the system WAVE sounds will not mix with your
desired program material.

Applying Output from WAVE Applications to OPTIMOD-PC
Windows mixes the audio outputs of all simultaneously operating WAVE applica-
tions that have been set up to feed OPTIMOD-PC as a Windows sound device. The
resulting mix feeds the OPTIMOD-PC's WAVE O

WAVE applications are attenuators only (providing no gain at any setting), it is usu-
ally wise to set them to maximum and to set levels via the OPTIMOD-PC Mixer's
WAVE O F PC faders.

Windows Media Player does not allow you to specify its target Windows Sound De-
vice, instead always feeding the Windows Default Sound Device. Therefore, to use
WMP as a playout application, you must set OPTIMOD-PC as the Default Sound De-
vice in Windows.
The OPTIMOD-PC DirectSound Driver allows digital audio players and playout appli-
cation software to output multiple sources simultaneously to one sound device. This
eliminates the need for multiple sound cards or sound cards with multiple sound
devices for each player and allows multiple players to mix automatically in auto-
mated operation, independent of sample-rate and/or bit-rate. If individual outputs
for each player are not needed, this feature of DirectSound eliminates the need to
mix all player outputs together externally,
Please note that some applications (like
RealPlayer, as of this writing) have
