These drivers are used to route non-Pro Tools sound such as system sounds, games or other applications through your Digidesign hardware. Installation: Place the Digidesign® Control Panel in your System Folder/Control Panels.

(If using Pro Tools III hardware, install and use the Digidesign Sound Drivers extension.) The Digidesign Control Panel requires Mac OS 9.0 thru 9.2.2. Digidesign Sound Drivers Digidesign Sound Drivers is a System extension that allows any application that can play sound via Sound Manager to play that audio through Digidesign hardware. Most Macintosh applications that make any sound do so by using Apple's Sound Manager. Apple's release of Sound Manager version 3.0 allowed third-party companies, like Digidesign, to build expansion cards for sound input and output, rather than having sound go in and out of the internal mic or Mac speaker. Digidesign hasn't built expansion cards specifically for Sound Manager 3.0. Rather, we have built software drivers to work as the "glue" between the Sound Manager and our existing high-end audio cards. Version 3.0 of the Sound Manager also has the capability to handle 16-bit, 44.1 kHz, stereo audio. This means you can record and playback CD-quality sound into any application that supports 16-bit audio, including most multimedia applications and games.

All Rights Reserved *What to do when the Sound or Output drivers do not appear in the Monitors and Sound Control Panel: The Sound CDev is required to select the Digidesign hardware for sound input/output. Mac OS 7.6.1 and higher doesn't automatically install the Sound CDev in the System Folder, but instead places it in the "Apple Extras/Sound Control Panel folder". To install, drag it onto the System Folder and Restart the computer. In Mac OS 9.0 and higher, the Apple installer correctly places new and separate "Monitors" and "Sound" Control Panels in the System Folder. ASIO Digidesign Direct I/O Driver for Mac OS 8/9
