Sound "Breakup"

Some games and screen saver applications use sound which is synchronized with animation.  If you are using such programs and are experiencing "breakup" of your sound, you may need to set the Audio Mode to Game.  This option provides increased response speed during waveform playback at the expense of increased DSP resources and can thus hamper your ability to use some Mwave applications concurrently.


Setting the Audio Mode

The Audio Mode can be set to Normal or Game.  Normal mode should be used for standard audio functions such as: .wav file playback and recording,  MIDI functions, and listening to your CD or line-in source.  Game mode can be used to eliminate sound "breakup" at the expense of increased DSP resources.   All standard audio functions are unaffected. To set the Audio Mode, click the corresponding radio button in the Mode group.  This change will not take effect until you click OK which makes the change and exits the dialog.


Problems running other Mwave Applications

If you run an Mwave application and receive a message concerning a lack of free resources then you should check the Audio button in the Mwave Audio dialog.  If it is illuminated then you can free Mwave resources by clicking this button.  This should allow the other Mwave applications to run.

The Audio button is a fast method of setting the Audio Mode to Normal and Aux to Off.  If you change one of these settings then the Audio button will reflect this change.  This change does not take effect until you click the OK button which makes the change and exits the dialog.


Using the Auxillary Source

The Aux Source group allows you to turn the auxillary device On or Off.  When set to On the internal CD and external line-in jack supply the auxillary device.  These two inputs are mixed if both are present.  You can set the Aux Source to Off which turns off the auxillary output to the speakers as well as freeing Mwave resources.  If you  are getting error messages when running other Mwave applications you should set Aux Source to Off and see if the errors go away.  Any change to the auxillary source does not take effect until you click OK which makes the change and exits the dialog.
