Adjusting the audio latency
When using the UA-20 in Advanced mode, you can change the driver settings to adjust
the latency of the audio. To adjust the latency, change the Buffer Size in the driver
settings dialog box.
* Latency is the time delay from when an application plays back audio data until the sound is
actually heard from an audio device such as the UA-20.
1
As described in "Opening the special driver settings dialog box (p. 65)",
open the "Driver Settings" dialog box.
2
Adjust the driver buffer size.
The following setting will produce the shortest latency.
Windows:
Set "Audio Buffer Size" to the far left (Min).
Macintosh:
Set "Buffer Size" to the far left (Min).
3
Click [OK] to close the driver settings dialog box.
4
Restart the application that is using the UA-20.
If you are using an application that has a function for testing audio devices, get it to
perform its tests.
5
Play back audio data on your application.
If interruptions occur in the sound, repeat this procedure, and gradually increase the
buffer size specified in step 2 until interruptions no longer occur.
* Depending on the application you are using, there may be a buffer size or latency
adjustment function among the audio settings of the application as well. For details, refer to
the operation manual for your application.
