The problem is that each and every rotten audio interface does something slightly different, and that i actually need to test quite a few to find out what the differences are.
This information will help me.
You are looking for something like:
Code:CA Out --- device count = 1
CA Out---******** Device = 1 Apple Built-in Audio 'bltn'
CA Out------- Device format - rate = 44100 - ID = lpcm - flags = 0000000B - bytes/pkt = 8 - fr/pkt = 1 - ch/fr = 2 - byte/fr = 8 - bits/ch = 32
CA Out--- deviceBufferSize = 4096, nominal Sample Rate 44100
CA Out------- number buffers = 1
CA Out----- buffer 1 has 2 channels
CA Out-------- total channel count = 2
CA Out----- device has 1 streamIDs
CA Out--------- streamID 0 - 10 - Start Channel 0
CA Out----- device stream supports 3 formats
did you manage to get me any information?
the mbox seems very expensive- thought about buying one to test.
Richard,
On friday, next week, I will be working with an mBox, so I will be able to send you the info if you want.
Philippe
yes please. digidesign does something different with their audio channel assignments.
they didnt use interleaved audio on the digi002 i borrowed.
i dont know the channel layouts.
Richard:
Ok, here is the console log I got opening SAMSC with the Mbox attached:
I'll have the Mbox for a few more days, so if you need something else just tell me. I´m also sending an attachment that shows the multichannel Out with the digidesign mbox grayed.PHP Code:*********************************************************************************************************

thanks.
Thats a lot of help.
digidesign seems to configure their devices as single channel devices, rather than stereo pairs.
As i play stereo pairs at the moment. i have to write more code to support this........
Richard,
I've just installed the last Digidesign CoreAudio driver version 6.7 (previous one previous was 6.5.2) I don't know if this will make some difference, so I'm uploading a new log with 6.7 installed.

its the same.
they split the stereo output into two single channels - as far as the device driver is concerned - when i get time - ill see if i can make this work.
Your harman sound sticks work?
it looks like they should?
Yes the Harman soundsticks work perfectly with SAMSC.
Philippe
no glitching?
I've just made some tests to be sure, and yes I can confirm that they are working very well.
