[Rwp] different driver modes in reaper

[TheOreoMonster]

setting the buffer settings in the DAW doesn’t force the change on the card? A lot of modern interfaces operate this way now.  I usually  don’t buy an interface unless i verify with the  manufacturer it will do hat as since those control panels are  usually inaccessible.
