4.2. Configuring a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7

A PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 can use hiFace in three different ways: Direct

Sound (DS), Kernel Streaming (KS) and WASAPI. DS is suitable for players which can’t

operate in Kernel Streaming mode nor with WASAPI or for Internet streaming; KS can be

chosen (for better performance) with players which can operate in Kernel Streaming mode

(such as FooBar, Winamp, Monkey Media, JRiver). WASAPI (Windows Audio Standard

API) is a standard interface for audio players which allows to get the same performance of

KS with applications which can’t operate in KS mode, at the cost of higher CPU load.

4.2.1. Configuring for Direct Sound with Windows Vista or Windows 7

Open control Panel and select Hardware and Sounds. Under Audio, click on Manage

Audio Devices. The following windows will appear, in which hiFace is listed. Set hiFace as

predefined device. Then, click on OK.
