Hardware mixing

       The program of music for theater suggests that the sound card driver installed on the system support hardware mixing. This approach saves computational resources computer. But in reality, not all the functions of hardware mixing can be implemented correctly. Very often problems arise in cases where the sampling frequency of the sound file differs from the standard 44.100 Hz. In these cases, you can hear distortion, reminiscent of the effect of distortion.

       Also hardware mixing may be required in cases where the routing of audio streams differs from the standard (stereo channels are directed to different exits from the Front left, Front right).

It is possible that the use of DX effects require an implicit sample rate conversion, and you also encounter these problems.

       Resolution of problems with lack of support hardware mixing

       1. In an emergency you must disable the option "Hardware Support", which is available in the main window in the toolbar for each sound.

       2. Install new soundcard-drivers.

       3. Installing sound cards that support hardware mixing and resampling.

       In solving the problems listed three main stages, which will achieve high quality audio playback, from the most urgent (switching to computerized Mixing) and ending with the selection of hardware.

       It should be noted that the computerized Mixing, implemented in such a way that it will not apply to all the sounds of the project, but only to those who will be listed. This will allow more economical to dispose of computer power.
