WINDOWS MME AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICES: All Audiophile 2496 analog and
S/PDIF outputs may be used simultaneously for a total of 4 output channels. Within
your software application(s), the names of the Audiophile 2496 audio output devices
are:
WavOut 1/2 Delta-AP
WavOut S/PDIF Delta-AP
"AP" in these names stands for "Audiophile." WavOut devices allow playing a
stereo audio stream to the analog hardware outputs (for WavOut 1/2), the S/PDIF
hardware output (for WavOut S/PDIF), or into the hardware router or mixer. Your
application software may break each of these stereo devices down further to "left"
and "right" mono devices. Therefore you may see them as "Left WavOut 1/2
Delta-AP, Right WavOut 1/2 Delta-AP", or "Left WavOut S/PDIF Delta-AP, Right
WavOut S/PDIF Delta-AP", from within your music software. Most software will
handle the outputs as stereo pairs but allow you to pan audio left or right within the
pair. Therefore to send a mono output to OUT1 (for example), choose "WavOut 1/2
Delta-AP" and pan that track hard left.
Note that each device name begins with "WavOut." This is to remind you that these
are software devices, and not always connected directly to output hardware. Instead
they are connected to the Audiophile 2496's internal patchbay/router and may be
sent to one of several destinations. For more on the patchbay/router, see the
Patchbay/Router section of the Delta Control Panel software discussion.
MACINTOSH SOUND MANAGER INPUTS AND OUTPUTS: The Apple
Sound Manager limits the user to one stereo pair for input and one stereo pair for
output. Within your music software, the device selection when using the Sound
Manager drivers for input and output will be "Sound Manager" both for input source
and for output port.
To select the Sound Manager driver, open the Apple Menu and go to Control Panel
| Sound. For both "Sound In" and "Sound Out," click and highlight the Delta icon,
then exit. You may select which Delta hardware stereo input pair and stereo output
pair will be used for the Sound Manager's Sound In and Sound Out in the Delta
Control Panel "Hardware Settings Page" (see section, "Hardware Settings Page"
under "Delta Control Panel"). Whichever stereo pair you select, the software input
and output device selection within your music program will remain the same, i.e.,
"Sound Manager" will be the proper selection.
ASIO DRIVER INPUT DEVICES: When using the ASIO audio drivers with
programs that support ASIO-style audio, the input devices are displayed as mono
devices. Within ASIO software applications, the names of the Delta Audiophile
2496 audio input devices are:
