and Audio I/O panel of the Resolve System Preferences is disabled.
The B-Chain Control Window where you can choose and
enable a B-Chain preset to affect the output
To name the various outputs of your system’s channels for easy assignment:
1 Choose Fairlight > Immersive > B-Chain Control to open the B-Chain Control dialog.
2 Click the Option menu in this window and choose Setup I/O Names. The I/O setup
window appears, showing every single audio input and output on every audio interface
that’s connected to and recognized by your system.
The I/O Setup window lets you rename the Inputs and Outputs associated with your
workstation setup, to make it easier to configure Fairlight when you’re managing
hundreds of channels. The names you choose here are shown everywhere in
DaVinci Resolve where channels are selectable and/or exposed.
3 To rename a channel, double-click that channel’s field in the Name column, type a new
name, and press Return.
4 To protect a channel, click the checkbox in the Protect column. Protected channels
are prevented from being patched to. This is intended for potentially high-volume
speaker outputs, to which it would be hazardous to accidentally connect the wrong
input. Protected channels can be seen everywhere patches can be made, but they’re
grayed out. Protected channels can only be used in the Speaker Setup controls in the
Video and Audio I/O panel of the Resolve System Preferences, and in the B-Chain
Setup window.
5 When you’re finished, close the window. The names and protected status of channels
are a system-wide setup.

outputs and protect channels going to amplified speakers
