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   | Data Type | Required | Range                                                                            | Description                                                                                                                       |
| ----------- | --------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `ckpt_name` | STRING    | Yes      | All files in the `checkpoints` folder.<br />*Example: `"audio_vae.safetensors"`* | Audio VAE checkpoint to load. This is a dropdown list populated with all the files found in your ComfyUI `checkpoints` directory. |
