Increase Speaker Performance
From the Audio tab, click on the Advanced Properties. Now, you can select the speaker formation you used and Windows will configure it for optimum performance. Move on to the advance tab. Make sure the Hardware Accelaration option is set to highest. Now, you will notice that the Sample rate conversion quality is set to lowest for performance use. If you have a fairly good system, push the slider to the end to sacrifice a bit of performance for quality.

Now click Advanced Properties for the Recording section. Like the above tip, make sure the Hardware Acceleration option is set to highest. Again, push the slider to the end to for the Sample rate conversion quality for better quality.

Click on the MIDI tab. Click on Custom Configuration, and Configure. All settings are there for you to choose.
