Driver

Driver you want to use.

Recommendations:

1) if you have an ASIO capable sound card, you may want to use ASIO output as this will reduce the latency to a minimum.

2) if you're using Windows Vista, 7 or newer - choose WASAPI. Latency is very low at this mode. This option is not available on Windows XP or prior.

3) otherwise, choose DirectSound

If your computer has no sound card or you want to use RadioBOSS for encoding/decoding purposes only (for example, broadcasting) - choose "No Device".

Device

Choose the sound card you want to use. It might be a sound card that presents in the system or a virtual card.

Settings

Set sound card settings:

Sample rate - sample rate in Hz, 48000 is the default.

Buffer size (ms) - buffer size, 50 ms recommended for WASAPI, 500 ms when you're  using DirectSound. ASIO uses the sound card setting.

Output channels (ASIO only) - set channels on which you want to play the sound. To unselect a channel, press DEL key on the keyboard.

Speakers - select the sound card speakers. For this option to work, with the Windows Sound settings or sound card control panel you should set it to a multi-speaker configuration.

Exclusive - initialize the device in exclusive mode, else shared mode. Recommended: unchecked.

Event-driven mode - enable event-driven buffering.
