5.2. Configuring a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7
A PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 can use the Young 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.
6.2.1. 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.
