# LTXVAudioVAELoader - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> The LTXV Audio VAE Loader node loads a pre-trained Audio Variational Autoencoder (VAE) model from a checkpoint file.

The LTXV Audio VAE Loader node loads a pre-trained Audio Variational Autoencoder (VAE) model from a checkpoint file. It reads the specified checkpoint, loads its weights and metadata, and prepares the model for use in audio generation or processing workflows within ComfyUI.

## Inputs

| Parameter   | Description                                                                                                                       | Data Type | Required | Range                                                                    |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `ckpt_name` | Audio VAE checkpoint to load. This is a dropdown list populated with all the files found in your ComfyUI `checkpoints` directory. | COMBO     | Yes      | All files in the `checkpoints` folder. The list is generated at runtime. |

The selected file must be a valid LTXV audio VAE checkpoint. The node keeps only the audio VAE and vocoder weights from the file and raises an error if the loaded model is not a valid VAE.

## Outputs

| Output Name | Description                                                                                            | Data Type |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------- |
| `Audio VAE` | The loaded Audio Variational Autoencoder model, ready to be connected to other audio processing nodes. | VAE       |
