AUDIO DEVICES

An audio device is added by right-clicking in the Device window or by right-clicking on a specific node in the Node window and selecting Add Audio Device.

The name of the audio device created can be altered and if the Node entry is empty, the node that the audio device is connected to needs to be selected in the Node dropdown list.

Once the Node is selected and the correct Device Type (WASAPI, WASAPI exclusive, Dante or ASIO) is set, the Refresh button can be pressed to update the list of available Devices on the selected node. Once an audio device is chosen, parameters like channels/format/latency can be altered.

NOTE: Using a Dante audio device in WATCHOUT 7 will not work with a wireless network adapter.

Selecting a device that have a parameter that is not corresponding to the current one set will give a warning that needs to be addressed.

The mapping of audio-bus to output channel for the audio device is set in the CHANNEL MAPPING matrix. Each cross-point have a default value, indicated by a purple checker, set to the variable masterVolume. This can be change to a static value, another variable, an expression or a combination of all. To open the cross-point parameter field, click on the three dots inside the square. Close the field by pressing Enter.

By default, the newly created audio device is disabled, enable the Audio Device by clicking on the heart symbol. If needed a Runner will automatically start an Audio Renderer on the node with the Audio Device.
