Multichannel WAVE Files
The 1616
m
supports 2 channels of WAVE recording and 8 channels of multichannel
WAVE playback. The WAVE channels are available for the following types of WDM
devices:
• Classic MME
• DirectSound
• Direct WDM / Kernel Streaming (KS)
DirectSound and the WDM/KS interfaces allow up to 8 channels of Wave Out while
the classic MME interface only exposes 2 channels.
The WAVE channels operate at all sample rates. For additional information about
WDM behavior at high sample rates, see
page 113 .
192kHz/96kHz DVD-Audio disks are protected against digital copying. Most DVD-
Audio disks contain duplicate 48kHz audio tracks which will play back on the 1616.
Windows Media Player/DVD/Surround Sound Playback
Select DirectSound as the output format when using Windows Media Player and other
DVD player applications.
Eight channel WAVE playback supports either 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround audio. However,
the 1616M is best suited to play 5.1 surround, since it only has 6 analog outputs. (You
could play back 7.1 surround audio by using an external S/PDIF to Analog Converter.
Create a 7/8 WAVE strip and insert a Send to S/PDIF Out.)
The chart below shows how to connect the outputs for 5.1 surround sound playback.
