Re: i lost surround comptability w7

If it works with one driver and not the other, it's a pretty strange problem! You're not running higher than 48kHz, right?

PC1 = HDSPe PCIe: DF-ADI-8 DS / HDSPe PCIe: MF2
MBP = HDSPe Expresscard: MF1

Re: i lost surround comptability w7

I still play a 16 bit 48 kHz 6-channel (DVD quality)
and with 3.26 when I did play the audio test from control panel i hear only  the outputs 1 and 2 on the hammerfall dsp mixer
with 3085 driver i listen the 6 channels sad

Re: i lost surround comptability w7

I don't have a 9632, so I can't help you more. My surround has been working for the last few years without issues on my RME cards. The only thing I can think of involve operator error: not assigning the correct channel to surround in WDM, not enabling surround in WDM, something wrong with the speaker configuration, something wrong with the interleaved settings (earlier driver), etc... Have you tried assigning the channel with the Speaker Icon ("Speaker") as the WDM channel and then watching to see if the system is outputting 6 channels in Total Mix?

Re: i lost surround comptability w7

The latest driver supports W7 loudspeaker, which is only available via the analog outputs 1/2. Now if you have no AO4S-192 you do have only 2 channels, therefore surround can not work. We are thinking about adding a workaround for that. But it has no high priority, as the number of users that output surround via ADAT is near zero, sorry.

It is as easy as reading the manual and removing the rest via Uninstall Software/Programs.

Re: i lost surround comptability w7

Just like to add that the number of users who wish to output surround via ADAT may be "near zero,"  but there are definitely two. Personally I was a bit surprised that the driver routing wouldn't handle that communication with W7. I'm sure it's their problem, but it seems like it would be an easy fix for the folks at RME.
