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 USB, and that only ADAT 1/2
has been activated. Any number can be
activated. Also only higher numbered
devices might be active. For example
using the Phones output for system
based audio does not require to activate
the ADAT stereo devices. Only Phones
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 USB after selecting ‘Multi-
Channel’ in the WDM Devices listbox and
hitting WDM Configure. In this example
the devices ADAT 1 to 8 and ADAT 9 to
16 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.
