# Audio Configuration Dialog

| Not available for plugin versions. This feature is only available for standalone application versions of Trilobite, and is not available for the plugin versions. Most plugin host applications capable of running the Trilobite plugin will have audio configuration features of their own.

The Audio Configuration Dialog allows selection and configuration of audio input and output devices to be used with Trilobite. The combo-box fields of this dialog are automatically populated with the available settings for different devices, and may therefore change in real time as different devices or settings are selected.

User interface widgets include:

Audio Input Device Combobox
Click on this control to select the audio input source device for input into Trilobite, and will display only devices attached to your system. The input device list may depend on the output device selected.

Channel Count Combobox for Input Device
Click on this control to select the input channel configuration of the input device. This option will either be mono (1 channel) or stereo (2 channels), depending on the capabilities of the selected audio input device.

Input Audio Frame Rate Combobox
Click on this control to select the sample rate configuration of the input device. Listed sample rates will depend upon the input device capabilities and Trilobite's internal capabilities.

| For best audio input quality and runtime efficiency, use the same frame rate and device for audio input as you do for audio output when possible. This is not required, but is highly advised.

Audio Output Device Combobox
Click on this control to select the audio output device for audio generated by Trilobite, and will display only devices attached to your system.

Channel Count Combobox for Output Device
Click on this control to select the output channel configuration of the input device. This option will either be mono (1 channel) or stereo (2 channels), depending on the capabilities of the selected audio output device.

Output Audio Frame Rate Combobox
Click on this control to select the sample rate configuration of the output device. Listed sample rates will depend upon the output device capabilities and Trilobite's internal capabilities.

| For best runtime efficiency, select the output frame rate sufficient for your needs, but nothing greater. The internal audio engine will run at the frame rate you specify, and higher frame rates are guaranteed to use substantially more CPU than lower ones.

Cancel Button

Apply Button
This button immediately applies the currently selected settings without dismissing the Audio Configuration Dialog.

OK Button
This button immediately applies the currently selected settings and dismisses the Audio Configuration Dialog.

| What audio devices are supported? At this time, Trilobite has been tested only with default OSX audio I/O and the default Realtek chipset on several Win32 platforms. As more platforms are tested, this page will be updated with a list of any audio devices known NOT to function as expected with Trilobite.
