M-AUDIO Dman 2044 - Manual (Page 20)

Mac Installation
System Requirements:
• PCI bus slot
• 120 Mhz or higher
• System 7.55 or higher
Please Note: Only 2 inputs can be used simultaneously on the Mac.
When using the DMAN2044 with the standard Mac Sound Manager and
NOT with Cubase, you can only play and record two channels (one
stereo pair) at any one time in any configuration. If you are running an
application that uses the standard Mac Sound Manager then skip on to
"Installation Notes" below.
If you are using the DMAN2044 ASIO drivers and Cubase, please note:
While all four of the DMAN2044 channels can be output simultaneously
with Cubase, only 2 (one stereo pair) of the 2044's 4 inputs can be active
at any given time. This restriction has to do with the limitations of the
processing power of the 2044's onboard DSP and the Mac PCI bus. It is
possible however, within Cubase and by using the "DMAN2044 Settings"
panel, to select whether inputs 1 and 2 or inputs 3 and 4 are active at any
given time. Therefore, you can have two different stereo sound sources
plugged into the DMAN2044 at the same time and switch between them.
Please Note: If your Apple Control Panel does not contain Sound
Manager, it can be found in the Sound Control Panel folder in the Apple
Extras folder. Open the Sound Control Panels folder, click on Sounds,
and drag it to the Control Panel folder found in the System folder.
