7. Audio Applications
This chapter contains basic configuration examples for some software applications. Please also refer
to the manual of the audio software you use for detailed information.
7.1 Windows Multimedia Setup
The Windows multimedia setup is required if you want to use your MAYA44 XTe as the main
sound device for Windows multimedia applications. Go to My computer-> Control panel ->
Sounds and Audio Device Properties -> Audio. Select the MAYA44 XTe entry as your playback
device to make sure that all standard signals are played via the MAYA44 XTe hardware.
Please note that some advanced properties buttons in this area will be grayed out because some of
the mixer features of MAYA44 XTe are not compatible with the functions provided by the
Windows default mixer that was designed for consumer audio hardware. However, this does not
mean you do not have any advanced options - the MAYA44 XTe control panel described in the
previous chapter includes all professional audio features that you might need and which are simply
not always compatible with the basic mixer control from Windows.
7.2 Mac OS X Audio MIDI Setup
The Audio MIDI Setup application can be found in the Utilities folder on your system. When you
launch it, you can setup MAYA44 XTe as your Default Input, Default Output or System Output
device – if required.
While audio production and editing applications usually provide an option inside their preferences
to select MAYA44 XTe as recording and playback device, many general standard applications such
as iTunes for example are usually accessing the Default Output device, selectable in the Audio
MIDI Setup dialog.
If you want to change settings of MAYA44 XTe, you need to select it under Properties For. You
can change the default sample rate under Audio Input -> Format or Audio Output -> Format or you
can change the main playback volume under Audio Output -> Volume Slider -> M.
