SoundSystem Aureon 7. 1 Universe (English) 31 The language. Here, you can set the Aureon 7. 1 Universe ControlPanel to the language of your choice. Enable Taskbar This button adds an icon for the ControlPanel to your Windows taskbar, and starts the Aureon ControlPanel automatically each time the computer is restarted. The "Settings" window of the Aureon ControlPanel lets you choose from a variety of sources for digital audio output. The following source settings are available in the "Digital Out" field: At the click of the mouse: signal sources and S/PDIF filters. SPDIF sends the signal applied to the digital input directly to the digital output without losses. Be sure that the synchronization is correct, however!Analog In takes the signal from the input selected on the "Input" page and outputs it directly at the digital output. This function thus allows you to "monitor" an analog recording directly and digitally. Wavedelivers the signal output of an audio application directly to the digital output. You will need this setting to send control information as used in AC3 and DTS signals in addition to the audio data. The audio signal is "bit-true". In addition, the following parameters can be selected in all three positions: Copyright adds a copy-protection ID to the signal or filters it out when deactivating copy protection. This function sets the so-called "copy protection bit" which ensures that no digital copies can be made of the signal. Non-Audio adds information to the data stream that indicates that control information (such as channel assignments) is being transferred in addition to the audio information. Activate the Non-Audio mode when transferring AC3 or DTS audio signals from a software DVD player to an external decoder. S/PDIF enable, as you may have gathered from the name, switches the digital outputs of the Aureon 7. 1 Universe on or off. The ASIO button will take you to the settings for the so-called ASIO buffer size. These are responsible for the "speed" of the ASIO driver. A lower number of samples per buffer will reduce the time that elapses before an application issues audio signals with ASIO support. 32 SoundSystem Aureon 7. 1 Universe (English) This setting is system-dependent. In the best case, the software will have a latency of around 1. 5 ms. On average systems with processor loads typical for a music PC, you can expect values around 7-30 ms.
