Hi
The 9632 has a certain predefined channel order like e.g. spdif, analog, adat or something like this.
Let's assume I want to change this to suit my personal needs.
Is there a way I can actually do this by e.g. editing the driver's .inf file?
Grateful for any hint,
deathlord
No, that is not possible. They are hardware related.

Maybe I could somehow modify the firmware? I mean this order has been changed in the past.
It hase been changed once with the transition from the 2.x to 3.x drivers (I think...). There is no user-modifiable firmware, sorry.

Ok. Then I would once more like to express my hope that something be done about the issue here. With Windows 7 it has aquired an even greater significance.
Any chance I can get a custom-made firmware that has adat 3 and adat 4 switched?
Why do you need these specific channels reversed? Anyhow, you can simply reverse them in Totalmix, with the pan faders on playback... Then 3 goes to the physical output 4 and 4 to 3...

No, I'm afraid that won't help.
It seems, RME is unable or unwilling, to solve (or even confirm, for that matter) the problem described here.
So I need to think about options to solve it myself. I am now on Win7 x64 and the problem also occurs with waveout, so I do no longer get around it. Direct sound is completely screwn up in 3.85, no sound in interleaved mode at all.
I have a faint hope that switching ADAT 3 and 4 might solve this, hence my request. Of course I could explain this in more detail. But what for? Noone from RME cares anyway....
Why can't Totalmix fix this issue? If the outputs are showing up "out of order" in the Middle Row of Totalmix (Software Returns), you have the ability to re-map them to whatever physical outputs you need on the bottom row. Save a preset that "Fixes" the order with your 7.1 player, and have another preset that is 1:1 for everything that works correctly (ASIO, etc). Or is there more to this story?
Hi Randyman
Thanks for your answer. Of course I can configure two presets, one for 5.1 and one for 7.1. But then I have to check each time whether a source has 5.1 or 7.1 channels and select the preset accordingly. This is not really an option. Instead the soundcard should route the channels consistently.
I agree - but honestly how much true 7.1 materrial are you seeing (that's mixed in "true 7.1" and not a 5.1 that's been upmixed to 7.1 like any AVR can do 
). True 7.1 mixes are pretty rare compared to commonplace 5.1 post production...
Fixing this in the driver is the way to go for RME - but you should be able to work around the few and far between 7.1 mixes (not 5.1 upmixes) that are out there with a Totalmix preset.
FWIW W7 seems to work fine with 7.1 over HDMI using ATI HD4550 video cards in a HTPC setup. If ATI can get the Audio right then i just know RME can with a little effort :-).
Is there any way to adjust the audio mapping in the BluRay/VC1 decoding software you use until RME can fix this?

Sure, you are right. But that's not really the point, is it? The channels should be mapped correctly, no matter if the 7.1 is "true" or not. And there is a small number of Blu-Rays, both BD-video and BD-audio in 7.1 available.

That's what you should expect...

I think upmixing everything to 7.1 should do the trick, which should be possible with ffdshow audio processor. But I can't get this filter to load on flac audio.
It seems using different presets in totalmix is the only way to go atm. (At least in Win7x64, in XP it is possible to use WaveOut, where, strangely enough, all the cannels are routed correctly.)
until RME can fix this
Do you honestly believe this is going to happen? They have known about this for almost two years (at least), but they haven't even so much as confirmed the problem. How long would it take to even start fixing it?
