WDM - Super Channel

What is Super Channel?

Super Channel allows you to customize how the various inputs and outputs on your Echo

hardware are presented to Windows.

When the WDM driver is first installed, the hardware is presented as a list of stereo inputs and

outputs. Take Layla24, for example: here’s the list of wave devices that you’d see in the

Windows “Sounds and Audio Devices Properties” control panel:

• Layla24 1-2 Analog Out

• Layla24 3-4 Analog Out

• Layla24 5-6 Analog Out

• Layla24 7-8 Analog Out

• Layla24 1-2 Digital Out

• Layla24 3-4 Digital Out

• Layla24 5-6 Digital Out

• Layla24 7-8 Digital Out

As you can see, there is one wave device for each stereo pair of outputs. Inputs are presented

similarly.

This works well for many audio applications. However, there are some cases where you don’t

want a bunch of discrete stereo pairs; you want to be able to group multiple channels together

into a single wave device.
