Configuring Sound Manager (MacOS)

Configuring Sound Manager
(MacOS)
The Apple Sound Manager controls the basic sound input and output for the
computer as a whole, including system alert beeps, speech input and output, game
sounds, and so on. The Sound Manager also allows add-on hardware, such as the
OASYS PCI, to be used in place of the computer's built-in sound input and output.
When you are using the OASYS PCI through the Sound Manager, only two
channels are available for input and output; you can choose any stereo pair that
you like (analog, S/PDIF, or ADAT 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8). You can even use one
pair of channels for input, and another for output.
Sound Manager setup
Apple's Sound control panel is included in the OASYS PCI software installation. It
is also included in the "Apple Extras" folder This control panel is not
automatically installed with the MacOS system software, but it works much better
with third-party audio hardware than do the other sound-oriented control panels
(including Monitors & Sound).
For this reason, only the Sound control panel is recommended for configuring the
OASYS PCI and Sound Manager.
You can continue to use the Monitors & Sound control panel for any purpose other
than configuring the OASYS PCI for use with Sound Manager.
