You can also click on the Properties button in the Sound dialog to access the default

format settings for the POD HD Sample Rate and Bit Depth when used with Windows®

multimedia applications. (Note that if you are using an audio application that is set to

utilize the ASIO® driver for your Line 6 device, then ASIO® communicates directly with

the device, and these “default format” settings do not apply.)

ASIO® Driver Settings

• ASIO® Client: If running audio software that is using POD HD as its ASIO® audio

device, the name of the software will appear here.

• Buffer Size: The ASIO® buffer size in use. The ASIO® Buffer Size will affect the

“responsiveness” and “latency” of the DAW software. The lower the setting, the

faster the response, but with the trade-off of higher processor usage and the risk of

audio dropouts. Raise the value if you are getting inconsistent playback or recording

in the audio software. Basically, 256 is generally a good average setting to start with.

• Bit Depth: The ASIO® bit depth in use. It is recommended to use the 24-bit option.

USB Audio Streaming Buffer - This slider adjusts the buffer size for the audio

responsiveness of the Input Monitoring signal. Basically, the default setting should be ﬁne

for most systems, but if getting audio dropouts or working with large CPU demands on

your system, raise the slider a notch or two to the right until it alleviates the problem.
