Drivers

Windows drivers

The GO44 audio interface features two kinds of audio drivers that support a variety of
applications. The audio drivers support all bit rates between 8 and 24 bits with all common
sample rates between 32 and 192 kHz. (Supports digital I/O up to 96 kHz)
MME driver
The Windows MME driver is a multi-channel driver that supports all channels of the GO44. The
specific routing options for these drivers can be found in the GO44 Control Panel. In most
Windows programs, you will encounter MME drivers with the designation "GO44(GO44 (1)) In
1" for input channel and "GO44(GO44 (1)) MC Out" for output channel.
ASIO driver
ASIO (Audio Streaming Input Output) is an audio transfer protocol developed by Steinberg. The
advantage of the ASIO driver is the extremely low audio recording and playback delay times, also
known as latency. Values of around 5 ms on fast, cleanly configured systems — at sample rates
exceeding 96 kHz — are quite realistic. The format also supports sound cards with multiple
inputs and outputs — so-called multi-I/O cards, as well as direct monitoring and multi-client
mode (ASIO 2.0 or later). In the programs that make use of Steinberg's ASIO interface, the ASIO
driver for the GO44 is listed as "ASIO GO4x."
