The Media Editor has its own settings to the main PlayoutONE application, allowing you to customize the audio settings for the editor.

You can access these settings by clicking the settings button, highlighted in the screenshot below.

Audio Settings

In the settings, there is an 'Audio Out' and 'Audio In' tab, which allows you to select the audio devices you wish to use.

Extro Preview

On the Extro Preview tab, you can specify a UID that will play when you preview the extro in the Media Editor. This is useful if you want to preview how a song will sweep into a sweeper at the extro point of the song.
