Documentation > Controller > Audio

Audio

On this pane you can choose how the player will get its audio data.

There are two strategies available:

• Audio Server Manager - for when you have the audio source on another PC
• Sub Process - for when you have the audio source on the same PC as the player (such as when running everything locally)

The [AUTO] button

When this button is lit up green, the player will try to reconnect / restore the configuration you just made the next time it is started.

Note!

• The audio configuration is saved separately from the state files from the STATE pane.
• It is "audio_state.json" in the "config / log" directory.
• Please see Data and directories for more information on how to find that.

Audio Server Manager

If you have an audio server manager running, click the button and connect to the IP of that machine.

Note!

• The player does not tell the audio server manger, nor the audio server, to shut down when itself shuts down

Sub Process

Clicking this makes player launch audio servers based on the audio API chosen.

Audio APIs

• WASAPI - offers the best quality
• DirectSound - use if needed
• ASIO - professional low latency audio, use when needed
