M-Audio Delta 410 Manual page 38

We're now physically set up to monitor, record, and play back audio. The next
steps involve configuring the Delta Control Panel software and the music
software into which you will be recording. We'll start with the Delta Control
Panel's "Hardware Settings" page, then the "Patchbay/Router" page, and finally
the "Monitor Mixer" page. We're not using S/PDIF in this example so we'll
ignore the S/PDIF page.
5. Open the Delta Control Panel by double clicking the icon in your
Windows Control Panel, and then click on the 'Hardware Settings' tab.
6. Select 'Internal Xtal' as the master clock source. This allows the
Delta 410 to derive its sample rates from its internal clock oscillator.
'Internal Xtal' is the default setting for the Delta Control Panel, so
selecting it may not be necessary (it may already be selected).
7. Under "CODEC Sample Rate," verify that the "Rate Locked" checkbox
is not activated. This will allow your application software to set the
Delta 410 sample rate as it pleases.
8. Since this example will include the use of the monitor mixer, we will
activate the "Reset Rate When Idle" feature. This will make sure the
monitor mixer is running at a decent sample rate while the system is
idle – this prevents the mixer sample rate from being set too low and
therefore lowering its frequency response. Select a sample rate in the
"CODEC Sample Rate" group to use as this idle sample rate. Choose a
44.1kHz or higher setting for best results, and select the same sample
rate you will be using in your application if possible. We've chosen
48,000kHz for this example.
