10 ASIO CONTROL PANEL for Windows

The ASIO control panel can be started from the Asio application, from the menu allowing for the
settings of the audio device(s) and the ASIO configuration.
Active cards group/Asio
channels allocation
This section is used to select the input channels and output channels that
are managed by the ASIO driver and which can therefore be used by any
application based on the ASIO interface.
For every card selected from the "ACTIVE CARDS GROUP" list, click on the
"ASIO CHANNELS ALLOCATION" button and select the channels to be used
under ASIO.
IMPORTANT: The current driver version does allow for the selection of
multiple cards to be used from the same application.
A card that is not used under ASIO can be used from a WASAPI or
DirectSound application.
Buffer size (latency)
This section is used to select the size of the audio buffers used by the ASIO
driver. This size is given as a number of samples and a cross-reference in
duration is indicated for a sampling frequency of 48 kHz. The higher the
buffer size, the higher the latency.
A small buffer size can lead to breaks in audio throughput on a
low-powered machine or on a machine with a high processor load.
The latency value to select must be at least 5ms (which is 256 samples at
48 kHz).
The default value is set to 512 samples (10,7ms).
