SETUP WIZARD
Click the Wave tab in the Environment Settings window.
If the window isn't automatically opened when you start FruityLoops, you can launch it by selecting Wave Settings in the Options menu.
In the Output panel there is a combo box with a list of available audio devices on your system. FruityLoops supports ASIO and DirectSound standards.
It is recommended that you use ASIO driver if you have such available for your sound card (the name in the list starts with "(ASIO)"), as this usually leads to better performance compared to DirectSound drivers.
If you want to select a DirectSound driver (the name starts with "(DS)"), avoid drivers which have "(emulated)" at the end of the name. Using such driver leads to worse performance compared to a native DirectSound driver.
If you plan to use FruityLoops together with another application that uses the same audio device, it is recommended that you check the Auto Close Device check box. When you have that option turned on FruityLoops releases the wave output device when it looses focus, so other applications may use it.
