thanks for the heads-up. hmm, doesn't look radical enough to make me want to change my current stuff - i don't use FX anyhoo.

 

[yeeyy]

I remember Glassman is interested in 88.2/176.4 support.

I'm surprised by MCWDM. That's something that I wished more than 88.2/176khz. It will allow for me to do multichannel music and movies out of 1820m. I can probably now reroute the bass info into a separate DAC to my sub.

I for one am glad to see that they'll finally be supporting 88.2/176.4khz. I just wish we could get them to allow for dd/dts pass through since it's a software, and not hardware, restriction.

i dont know what any of that stuff means. i'm going to have to get you on the horn just to explain how to get the 0404 to spit out analog and digital at the same time, Lan!

You want to output to outs 1/2 and spdif out.

What I meant with MCWDM (multichannel windows driver model) is that now there will probably be strips for WAVEOUT 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 where as it was only stereo before. Movie programs usually use directsound out not ASIO so you could never watch surround before. Having these various strips allows me to control where the various audio goes.

So Patchmix will have more buttons and lights that can light up. Cool!

Full installer? Those who have lost their original cd will be happy about that

 

[james__bean]

But will they fix the problems with direct sound? Thats all that matters to me.

 

[Kram Sacul]

What problems?

 

[Distroyed]

He's probably referring to the clipping issues in games some people have.

 

[james__bean]

Actually there's a problem where Direct Sound will cut out during gameplay. I don't really have time to look for it, but someone from EMU confirmed it a while back.

 

[maarek99]

Wasn't that already corrected with the newest available drivers?
