Audio SystemDepending on the operating system, Ardour can possibly use different audio - systems, e.g. on Linux, both - ALSA and JACK are - available. -
Driver - On Mac OS X this will typically be CoreAudio. On Linux usually - this will be either FFADO - or ALSA, depending on whether or not a firewire device - is used. Advanced users on all platforms may also - use NetJack which provides network audio I/O. -
DeviceThe selector should show all availiable interfaces provided by the - driver above and which are capable of duplex operation. -

- When using an Intel Mac running OS X and the builtin audio - interface, its separate input and output devices must be - merged first into a single "aggregate device" before Ardour will be able - to use it. -

-
Sample Rate - The selector will allow to select from any sample rate supported by the device - selected above it. -
Buffer Size - The size of the buffer used by the audio interface can be adjusted - to allow for either lower latency, or lower CPU usage and higher - latency. -
Input/Output Channels - Specifies the number of hardware channels to use. The - default is all available channels.
Hardware Input/Output LatencySpecify the hardware delay in samples for precise latency compensation.
Calibrate - This button runs a semi-automated guided process to obtain - precise hardware latency measurements for the above option.
MIDI System - Selects the MIDI driver to use. On Mac OS X, this will be CoreMIDI. On Linux, it can be changed between two legacy - ALSA drivers or the (preferred) new JACK+ALSA implementation.
