Output

The playback digital control applies a digital gain to the selected output (i.e. to
what the application plays, including the software monitoring. It can be set for
each channel of the selected device, or for both channels at the same time by
clicking the Link box. This gain applies to both digital and analog outputs. Its
default position is in front of the bold dot.
The analog output gain can be set for each channel, or for both channels at
the same time by clicking the Link box. This gain only applies to the analog
outputs. Its default position is in front of the bold dot, unless you use
headphones. In this case, decrease the levels of analog outputs 1 & 2 to
prevent you from hearing damage.

Monitoring

ASIO applications basically use two monitoring modes: software monitoring
and hardware monitoring (the latter also known as 'ASIO direct monitoring').
In software monitoring mode, the recorded signal is immediately played back,
just as if it were read from the hard disk. This allows monitoring through
effects for instance, but induces latency that can be annoying to the recording
musician. In hardware monitoring mode, the recorded signal is directly
routed from the inputs to the outputs of the card without passing through
your audio application, avoiding the latency in the monitoring path.
The monitoring slider controls the hardware monitoring level (ASIO direct
monitoring) but does not control the software monitoring. Its default position
is in front of the bold dot. It can be set independently for each channel. ASIO
compliant applications featuring ASIO direct monitoring control this level
directly using their integrated mixer.

Time Error Compensation

Audio data transfer may suffer from buffer underrun, in most cases due to
temporary CPU overload.
To avoid the loss of synchronization between input and output signals, click
on the Advanced button and select:
<Skip samples on outputs to compensate audio time drift>
Note: This option can only fix a limited amount of errors. Too many errors
occurring will result in a loss of sound quality.
To avoid errors, reduce CPU load.
