Hi
Using my 9632's ADAT out I would like to play multi channel audio.
Driver is 3.27.
OS is Win7x64.
I fail miserably:
Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> ADAT1 properties --> Advanced
select 6/8 channel, e.g. 48/16
--> error message: This setting is not supported by the device.
What am I missing?
W7 will only let you set multichannel properties for the card's first device ("Loudspeakers"). I don't even see the setting you describe on my systems.

Err, ok, and what do we do about this?
The same as before - recommend to buy the AO4S-192.

Sorry, I can't see how this is related.
I have a 8 channel ADAT out, I want to play multi channel audio through that.
I already have a DAC.
In earlier driver versions (3085) I did not have this problem.
Is this going to be fixed in a future driver version?
See # 2 - not an issue of the driver. You can rereoute channels in the mixer, though.

Sorry, I don't quite understand, please explain:
I want to play back an 8 channel source through ADAT1-8. What do I need to do?
Can you please explain that again?
Buy the AO4-S192 so the HDSP 9632 is enabled to perform 6 channel playback via the speaker device. Then reroute these 6 channels via TotalMix to the ADAT output.
Ah, now I got it.
Kind of an expensive solution.
But this works with driver 3.085!
Why does it not work in newer drivers?
From the manual, page 22:
Multichannel
PowerDVD can also operate as software decoder, sending a DVD's multichannel data stream
directly to the analog outputs of the HDSP 9632. Supported are all modes, from 2 to 8 channels,
at 16 bit resolution and 48 kHz sample rate. Playback via the ADAT output of the HDSP
9632 is also supported.
So this should work!??
The manual refers to the very old driver. That driver has not been fully compatible to Windows 7, WDM, and all the MS multimedia stuff. The current driver has this compatibility but misses the old multichannel streaming on various ports (like ADAT), because it collides with the new stuff.
I see...
So that means 8 channel ADAT will not be supported in the future?
How about other cards, like AIO?
The AIO won't support straight Multichannel playback to ADAT (because W7 does not), but you can play back surround on the first two and subsequent channels without adding an AO4S to the card, and then reroute to ADAT.

Hi,
Just a question : what kind of player do you use and what is your purpose ?
If it is for playing files straight from the explorer, I use XMPlay which supports ASIO. So I can play multichannel files and send them to the outputs I want without using Microsoft's path.
Hi
Main purpose is movie playback. I use Media Player Classic HC, which does not support ASIO as far as I know. But it does support WASAPI exclusive through reclock.
Have you tried the ASIO plugin for WMP ?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/asiowmpplg/
Perhaps it could help ?
Thanks for the link. But that one only seems to work with WMP, not with MPC.
Here's one for MPC: http://surodev.com/?p=451 (ASIO – Directshow Audio Renderer Filter)
Thanks, I'll try that one!
