    • Select the usage option to auto-configure the settings.
    • Also, you can manually adjust the recommended settings later if necessary.
    • Then click on the ‘Settings’ option on the main screen, go to Audio, and set up your Audio device settings.
    • Add your video source by clicking on Sources, then selecting the ‘+’ icon.
