Selecting Audio Devices

Selecting Audio Devices in Session

Preventing Devices From Using Local Termination

Preventing Devices From Using Local Termination

By default, supported Wacom devices use local termination automatically to provide improved responsiveness and tolerance of high-latency networks. Local Termination does not support all advanced Wacom features; if you depend on one of these unsupported features, you can fall back to bridged mode by adding your device to a blacklist.
