Interfacing OPTIMOD-PC with WAVE Devices
Turning Off Windows Sounds
Applying Output from WAVE Applications to OPTIMOD-PC
If OPTIMOD-PC is the Windows Preferred or De-
fault Device, to prevent Windows' OS-generated
and application-generated sounds from going
"on the air" or over your stream, you must turn
them off.
This caveat applies only when you are
using OPTIMOD-PC's WAVE inputs. If
you are using only OPTIMOD-PC's hard-
ware inputs and have the WAVE inputs
turned off in the OPTIMOD-PC I/O mixer,
then the system WAVE sounds will not
mix with your desired program material.

WAVE applications are attenuators only (providing no gain at any setting), it is usu-

Windows Media Player does not allow you to specify its target Windows
Sound Device, instead always feeding the Windows Default Sound De-
vice. Therefore, to use WMP as a playout application, you must set
OPTIMOD-PC as the Default Sound Device in Windows.
The OPTIMOD-PC DirectSound Driver allows digital audio playout applications to
output multiple sources simultaneously to one sound device. This eliminates the
need for multiple sound cards or sound cards with multiple sound devices for each
player and allows multiple players to mix automatically in automated operation,
independent of sample-rate and/or bit-rate. If individual outputs for each player are
not needed, this feature of DirectSound eliminates the need to mix all player out-

Please note that some applications (like RealPlayer, as of this writing)
have volume controls that affect the Windows master volume instead of
