Troubleshooting USB operation

This section may help you overcome any problems that may arise when using USB with
your audio system.

Audio problems

If you encounter any problems with the audio, for example, when recording, try
changing the USB settings.

Avoiding drop outs

In general, the higher the driver settings for buffer depth are, the more reliable the
audio streaming will be, but the higher the audio latency will be. The latency is the time
delay between the audio signal entering your VeniceU and being available at your
computer (also the return path from your computer to the console). This will be
particularly noticeable when monitoring the output of real time effects in your digital
audio software.
There are a number of helpful websites available with hints and tips on how best to fine-
tune a Windows machine for handling USB audio. These list various settings to change,
or activities to perform including: changing processor scheduling, deactivating unused
devices, disabling power saving modes and making sure the correct drivers are installed
for other components on your system such as graphics cards. Also avoid running other
processor hungry applications alongside your audio software.
