Audio Assignments

The Computer Audio Assignment tab is used to assign Stream Groups, inputs and devices for local playback and record. Stream Groups selected in this tab for Hot Keys, Stack and the Z-Player will be used by the selected computer instead of those assigned at the station level in the Playback tab of the Station Configuration.
