Multichannel WAVE Files

The 0404 supports 2 channels of WAVE recording and 4 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 four 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
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 0404.
Select DirectSound as the output format when using Windows Media Player and other
DVD player applications.
