Multichannel WAVE Files

The 1616

supports 2 channels of WAVE recording and 8 channels of multichannel

WAVE playback. The WAVE channels are available for the following types of WDM

devices:

• Classic MME

• DirectSound

• Direct WDM / Kernel Streaming (KS)

DirectSound and the WDM/KS interfaces allow up to 8 channels of Wave Out while

the classic MME interface only exposes 2 channels.

The WAVE channels operate at all sample rates. For additional information about

WDM behavior at high sample rates, see page 113

192kHz/96kHz DVD-Audio disks are protected against digital copying. Most DVD-

Audio disks contain duplicate 48kHz audio tracks which will play back on the 1616.

Windows Media Player/DVD/Surround Sound Playback

Select DirectSound as the output format when using Windows Media Player and other

DVD player applications.

Eight channel WAVE playback supports either 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround audio. However,

the 1616M is best suited to play 5.1 surround, since it only has 6 analog outputs. (You

could play back 7.1 surround audio by using an external S/PDIF to Analog Converter.

Create a 7/8 WAVE strip and insert a Send to S/PDIF Out.)

The chart below shows how to connect the outputs for 5.1 surround sound playback.
