Glad you noticed they were posted! The FAQs were updated earlier this morning.

Doesn’t tell you how to set them up inside AmpliTube 4 though.

Doesn’t tell you how to set them up inside AmpliTube 4 though.

This will be similar to selecting any other drivers in AmpliTube. There are no special steps.

1) Open AmpliTube 4 CS
2) Go to the Settings -> Audio/MIDI Set-up
3) Select ASIO as your Technology
4) Select the iRig Drivers as your Output device (This will select as your input device as well)
5) Adjust your audio buffer size for your system*

*Start at 128, then go higher if you hear clicks and pops. Going lower will allow for lower latency times, but will cost more processing power to do so.

See the example below:

Make sure after you've installed your drivers to restart your system. This is best practice after installing any drivers.

Once restarted, check to see if you have any further issues and if so, you might want to open up a support ticket. Feel free to PM me the ticket number if this is the case.

Please keep in mind this is a user to user discussion forum and this is not for direct technical support.

Another important thing if using a Surface device! I had popping and clicking despite buffers set up to 2048.

The Power options don't give 'Performance option' on Surface devices, you have to select the battery icon in system tray and slide the slider to the right. (All the way right, not halfway as per image below)

Problem solved! Buffer back to 512, no lag and no popping
