- Output Volume:­ controls­ the­ StealthPlug's­ output­ volume.­ Pressing­ the­
StealthPlug's­ Volume­ Up­ "+"­ and­ down­ "–"­ buttons,­ will­ also­ control­ this­
slider.
- SampleRate selection: this­menu­will­allow­you­to­change­the­StealthPlug's­
samplerate­(except­when­the­host­is­using­the­ASIO­driver).
- Buffer Size: sets­the­StealthPlug's­input/output­latency.­The­smaller­the­buf-
fer­size­value­is,­the­faster­the­response.­IMPORTANT: a small buffer size may
introduce audio pop and click noises or CPU overload. Reliable operation
highly depends on the performance and configuration of your system. Also,
if there is an open audio application that is using the StealthPlug's ASIO driv-
er, you will not be able to change the buffer size value from the StealthPlug's
Control Panel. In this case, you will need to either: a) close the application
before you modify the buffer size or b) if available, enable the "Release ASIO
driver in background" option in the ASIO options of the application.
