M-AUDIO Lagoon - Manual (Page 13)

ASIO DRIVER INPUT DEVICES: When using the ASIO audio drivers with
programs that support ASIO-style audio, the input devices are displayed as mono
devices. Within ASIO software applications, the names of the Lagoon audio input
devices are:
ADAT1 1/2
ADAT1 3/4
ADAT1 5/6
ADAT1 7/8
ASIO DRIVER OUTPUT DEVICES: The Lagoon’s ASIO output devices appear in
stereo pairs. Because each device is stereo, you may see “left” and “right”
references within your software application. This allows the application to pan
audio left and right under software control. To send a signal to a Lagoon ASIO
output 1 (for example) as a mono output send, one would choose “Analog 1/2
Lagoon” for that track’s output port, and then pan that output hard left. The ASIO
outputs are named as follows:
ADAT1 1/2
ADAT1 3/4
ADAT1 5/6
ADAT1 7/8
WINDOWS MULTIMEDIA SETTINGS: Windows may be set up to use the
Lagoon as its default audio device, allowing system sounds to be sent out the
Lagoon. This also enables you to use the Lagoon with the sound applets
included with Windows. To set this up, go to Control Panel | Multimedia. In
the Audio Properties page, set the Playback and Recording devices to the
Lagoon input and output devices of your choice.
The LAGOON Tools Applet
Using the LAGOON Tools you may configure the operation mode of the LAGOON
card. The LAGOON Tools may be easily accessed by clicking on the LAGOON icon
in the taskbar (alternately you can access them by clicking on the corresponding
entry in the Windows Start menu / Programs). Moreover, this icon provides
information about the status of the card. If it is permanently blue, everything is OK.
If the icon starts blinking red/blue, an error has occurred. By clicking on this icon
and selecting the Status page you can easily check what kind of error occurred. But
let‘s start with the basic Info page.
