CoreAudio Manager

You can configure the Avid Core Audio Driver
using CoreAudio Manager, or from within most
third-party CoreAudio-compatible client appli-
cations (such as BIAS Peak or Logic). Refer to
the manufacturer's documentation for more in-
formation.
Some applications (such as Apple's iTunes or
QuickTime Player), also require that you config-
ure either the Apple Sound Preferences or Apple
Audio MIDI Setup (AMS) to use the Avid Core
Audio Driver.
The Avid Core Audio Manager is configured to
auto-hide when first launched. To bring it to the
foreground, click on its icon in the dock.
The Avid Core Audio Manager is not used by
Pro Tools. It is only used by other Core Audio
applications.
Accessing the CoreAudio
Manager
The Avid Core Audio Manager application
launches automatically when the first client ap-
plication accesses the Avid Core Audio Driver.
