The DigiTorc is a professional-quality AES3 (formerly AES/EBU) audio input-output card designed and manufactured in Australia by Innes Corporation Pty Ltd. It is supplied with DSP software and a Windows WDM driver to provide full sound card functionality under Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003 and Vista.
• Peak meters for WDM drivers are only available through the mixer API under Windows XP and Server 2003 (and Windows Vista running in XP-compatibility mode). It is possible to access the meters programmatically under Windows 2000 (contact Innes Corporation for details and sample code). Windows Vista provides an IAudioMeterInformation interface as part of its EndpointVolume API, but this isn’t supported on any of the earlier platforms.
