The audio device settings control the connection between LiveProfessor and the audio hardware.

This is where you select the device to use and control the device settings.

This option is only available on Windows and lets you choose the type of audio driver to use.
It is strongly recommended to use an ASIO driver as it provides the best stability and lowest latency. The other options (Windows Audio and DirectSound) are for special use cases and backward compatibility.

This is where you select the actual hardware device to use for passing audio.

The sample rate of your system. This should be aligned with the settings in the rest of your system. Opting for higher values would reduce the latency for the same buffer size, but it may consume more processing power.

The current status of the device reported by the audio driver

This shows how many inputs and outputs are available on the device and how many have been activated on the Audio Inputs & Outputs page

The reported latency of the audio device, which includes the audio buffer. The total round trip latency will be the input latency plus the output latency. It's worth noting that specific plugins might add extra latency on top of this, plugins that add additional latency will show the amount they add in the individual plugin's user interface.

When this feature is enabled, LiveProfessor will not attempt to adjust the sample rate of the audio device. Instead, it will rely on an external device to set the sample rate. By default, this feature is disabled, allowing the application to have full control over the audio device.

This button will enable the offline mode manually. If a project is loaded without the correct audio device being available, the project will enter Offline Mode, and this button will be red. To return to normal mode, click this button. More information on the Offline Mode here
