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 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.
To manage all the installed cards from your ASIO application, select allow
'All ALP Boards" from the list of cards.
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 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.
