7.2 Option WDM Devices
The WDM Devices configuration has one
button to enter the edit dialog, a status
display showing the number of currently
enabled WDM devices, and a listbox to
select between Stereo or Multi-Channel
devices.
The number represents both record and
playback devices, so ‘1’ means one input
and one output device.
The screenshot to the right shows the
stereo WDM devices available with the
Digiface AVB. Here the first four stereo
devices had been activated. Any can be
activated. Also only higher numbered
devices might be active. For example
using 25+26 for system based audio
does not require to activate the prior
stereo devices. Only AVB (25+26) will
show up in the Windows Sound control
panel.
The checkbox All to the right allows for a
quick check/uncheck of all devices.
The screenshot to the left shows the multi-
channel WDM devices available with the
Digiface AVB after selecting ‘Multi-
Channel’ in the WDM Devices listbox and
hitting WDM Configure. In this example
the devices AVB 1-8, 9-16, 17-24 and 25-
32 are active.
Using a multi-channel WDM device allows
for the use of multi-channel playback with
specialized software as well as Surround
sound from DVD or Bluray player
software.
Please note that configuring the WDM
device to a specific surround mode in the
control panel Sound requires the device to
have the Speaker property. See next
page.
Again the checkbox All to the right allows
for a quick check/uncheck of all devices.
