this setting. The obvious default is "audio," however, choosing “non-audio” is
appropriate if you wish to send an AC3 signal (Dolby Digital 5.1 surround
sound) out of the S/PDIF output. Some software DVD players are capable of this,
as well as AC3 or Dolby Digital encoding software.
PROFESSIONAL FORMAT ADVANCED SETTINGS (Emphasis): The user
may choose to indicate or not indicate if pre-emphasis has been applied to the
outgoing digital audio signal. The default is "None" and rarely will any user want
to set the value to "CCITT" or "50/15uSec" unless the transmitted audio has been
encoded with one of those types of pre-emphasis.

Save, Delete, Load Buttons; H/W Installed
To save your Delta control Panel settings, go to the File menu and select “Save,”or
“Save as.” A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name the current
configuration. Once you have done so, click the Save button. To save the current
settings as your default, go to the File menu and choose “Save as Preferences.”
In the upper right hand corner of the control panel is a “H/W Installed” drop-down
list. At the time of this writing, the Delta Mac ASIO drivers will support only a
single Delta device, and of course the Sound Manager will support only one stereo
pair regardless of how many audio cards are installed in your system. The H/W
Installed list will display “Delta 410” as the active device in the control panel.
Delta 410 Recording Tutorials
In this section we will explore a few sample setups for recording and playback
using the Delta 410 PCI Audio Card. This is by no means an exhaustive tutorial
but its intent is to help you understand most of the Delta 410’s feature set. Before
beginning, you should open your music software and profile the Delta 410,
enable its drivers, or otherwise setup the software for operation with the
Delta 410.
NOTE: All of these examples refer to the Windows MME driver
names. If you’re using ASIO drivers (or the Apple Sound Manager),
you’ll need to substitute the appropriate driver names when
referring to software inputs or outputs.
