Digidesign MBox support?

[samsc]

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.

[samsc]

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.

[samsc]

Your harman sound sticks work?

it looks like they should?

[Pipo]

Yes the Harman soundsticks work perfectly with SAMSC.
Philippe

[samsc]

no glitching?

[Pipo]

I've just made some tests to be sure, and yes I can confirm that they are working very well.
