7.2. Configuring a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7
A PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 can use the VAUGHAN in three different ways:
Direct Sound (DS), Kernel Streaming (KS) and WASAPI. DS is suitable for players which
can’t operate in Kernel Streaming mode nor with WASAPI or for Internet streaming; KS
can be chosen (for better performance) with players which can operate in Kernel
Streaming mode (such as FooBar, Winamp, Monkey Media, JRiver). WASAPI (Windows
Audio Standard API) is a standard interface for audio players which allows to get the same
performance of KS with applications which can’t operate in KS mode, at the cost of higher
CPU load.
7.2.1. Configuring for Direct Sound with Windows Vista or Windows 7
Open control Panel and select Hardware and Sounds. Under Audio, click on Manage
Audio Devices. The following windows will appear, in which Young is listed. Set Young as
predefined device. Then, click on OK.
