M-AUDIO Delta RBUS - Manual (Page 17)

WINDOWS MME AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICES: All of the Delta R-BUS
Audio Card’s analog and S/PDIF outputs may be used simultaneously
for a total of 10 output channels. Within your software application(s), the
names of the Delta R-BUS audio output devices are:
WavOut 1/2 Delta-R-BUS
WavOut 3/4 Delta-R-BUS
WavOut 5/6 Delta-R-BUS
WavOut 7/8 Delta-R-BUS
WavOut SP/ANA Delta-R-BUS
All WavOut devices allow playing a stereo audio stream to the R-BUS
hardware outputs (for WavOut 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), the S/PDIF and
Analog hardware outputs (for WavOut SP/ANA), and/or into the
hardware mixer. Your application software may break each of these
stereo devices down further to "left" and "right" mono devices. Therefore
you may see them as "Left WavOut 1/2 Delta-R-BUS, Right WavOut 1/2
Delta-R-BUS", or "Left WavOut S/PDIF Delta-R-BUS, Right WavOut
S/PDIF Delta-R-BUS", etc. from within your music software. Other
software will handle the outputs as stereo pairs, but allow you to pan
audio left or right within the pair.
Note that each device name begins with "WavOut." This is to remind you
that these are software devices, and not always connected directly to
output hardware. Instead they are connected to the Delta R-BUS’s
internal patchbay/router and may be sent to one of many destinations.
For more on the patchbay/router, see the Patchbay/Router section of the
Delta Control Panel software discussion.
MACINTOSH SOUND MANAGER INPUTS AND OUTPUTS: The
Apple Sound Manager limits the user to one stereo pair for input and one
stereo pair for output. Within your music software, the device selection
when using the Sound Manager drivers for input and output will be
“Sound Manager” both for input source and for output port.
To select the Sound Manager driver, open the Apple Menu and go to
Control Panel | Sound. For both “Sound In”and “Sound Out,” click and
highlight the Delta icon, then exit. You may select which Delta hardware
stereo input pair and stereo output pair will be used for the Sound
Manager’s Sound In and Sound Out in the Delta Control Panel
“Hardware Settings Page” (see section, “Hardware Settings Page”under
“Delta Control Panel”). Whichever stereo pair you select, the software
input and output device selection within your music program will
remain the same (i.e., “Sound Manager”).
