7.2 WDM Configuration
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 Dante. 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 Dante (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 Dante after selecting
‘Multi-Channel’ in the WDM Devices
listbox and hitting WDM Configure. In this
example the devices Dante 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 Blu-
Ray 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.
