Suitable soundcards

RSS
NOTE - This article applies to Solo version 2.

Most soundcards with a WAVE driver will now work with Solo but consideration should be made with regards to the latency of the soundcard as there can be a big difference between cards. The latency of the card is extremely important when talking 'live' to a caller! Soundcards must support 48k sample rate at 16bit.

ASIO

Solo version 2 onwards supports ASIO soundcards. See ASIO Support. ASIO drivers tend to have lower latency than WAVE drivers as they allow direct access to the soundcard rather than going via the Windows subsystem. Where possible ASIO drivers should be used. Additionally, cards which natively support ASIO drivers tend to be designed with performance (low latency) in mind and are therefore ideal for use with Solo.

RECOMENDED CARDS FOR USE WITH SOLO

Echo digital 'miamidi' (ASIO).

AXIA NODES/DESK

Axia Wave driver (ASIO) – note this is a software soundcard which talks directly to Axia nodes and desks.

OTHER CARDS

As mentioned above, most soundcards will work fine but some may have a igher latency than others – especially consumer and onboard soundcards. These are still acceptable for music on hold use.
