Learn more about the Audio Hardware preferences for Premiere Pro.
Note:
When you connect an audio hardware device, the hardware settings for that device type, such as default input, default output, master clock, latency, and sample rate, are pre-loaded in the Preferences > Audio Hardware dialog box.
Supported sound card drivers
- Windows: ASIO drivers support professional cards, and MME drivers typically support standard cards.
- macOS: CoreAudio drivers support both professional and standard cards.
Note:
ASIO and CoreAudio drivers are preferable because they provide better performance and lower latency. You can also monitor audio as you record it and instantly hear volume, pan, and effects changes during playback.
