It&#8217;s been created mainly because GTT is a 64-bit application, while xAFVirtualAmp is a 32-bit library, hence it is not possible to launch both binaries in the address space of the same process. In addition, GTT also supports 64-bit xAFVirtualAmp from &#8220;R Release&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Internally, the HAL service is implemented as a WCF service hosted in a Windows service. It communicates with GTT via named pipes.<\/p>\n<p>The Harman Audio Library Service exposes the following xAF API to GTT.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>getAudioToolboxBuffer:<\/strong> Returns the AudioToolbox.xml file as a string. AudioToolbox.xml contains definitions of audio blocks known to a particular version of the xAFVirtualAmp library.<\/li>\n<li><strong>getIoObjectInformation:<\/strong> This method accepts audio block configuration parameters and returns the IO layout of the block (# audio ins, # audio outs, # control ins and # of control outs).<\/li>\n<li><strong>getTuningInformationBuffer:<\/strong> Returns a device description snippet for an audio block. Iterative invocation of that method for each audio block across all framework instances produces a device description file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"note\">After a successful installation of GTT, the HAL service should be automatically initiated by default.<\/p>\n<p>In case the service is not operational or has been deactivated for any reason, the GTT will notify you of such situations through error messages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\"><strong>To activate the HAL services:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open GTT project window, click on <strong>Service Monitor<\/strong>.
