This used to be the name used to describe the default sound device using the standard MME (MultiMedia Extensions) output mode (which is compatible since Windows 3.0: ). So if I have to guess from the names you said: I've tried to find an image on google about the audio settings, but i couldn't. I guess you don't get a definitive answer because of several things, one being a confusing naming on the soundforge options, and another, the fact that it isn't the same on Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows XP or Windows Vista (And now I'm not sure if it has changed again in Win 10). So I thought that maybe here someone has technical info regarding MME which would help me make an informed choice (the stuff I've read on forums so far is just people repeating stuff they've read or heard somewhere else but no trustworthy source is ever mentionned).Īnyway, I hope someone here can help or point me to a place where I can find the required information. I tried getting some info about MME on Microsoft's community forums and from their online tech support but so far to no avail. So far I was using MME because it is the default choice in Sound Forge. But no info regarding resampling or bit depth / sample rate limitations.

I found information describing MME as being simply an interface telling the software (Sound Forge in my case) which audio driver to use (in my case the driver of my Creative SoundBlaster soundcard). However I have been unable to find technical specifications about MME online. On several forums I read that it was best avoiding MME because it resamples sound going through it and because it is limited to 16bit/48kHz. (- ASIO4ALL which I've recently installed to test.) The reason is I use Sony Sound Forge and in the audio devices list I'm offered several choices:

I'm looking for some technical info about Microsoft Sound Mapper (MME).
