M-AUDIO Delta 410 - Manual (Page 31)

The rightmost vertical column of Patchbay/Router page, "H/W Out S/PDIF,"
connects the Delta 410’s hardware S/PDIF outputs to one of five sources:
1. The default setting, "SM/ASIO S/PDIF", connects the S/PDIF Out
port to your music software or Sound Manager applet (provided that
S/PDIF is your selection for Sound Manager output. See next section,
Hardware Settings Page”). In other words, when music software plays
audio to the device named "Sound Manager” or “S/PDIF Delta-410,"
it will be routed directly to the hardware S/PDIF output on your
Delta 410 PCI host card.
2. The second option, "Monitor Mixer", connects the S/PDIF Out port to
the outputs of the Delta 410 monitor mixer. For more information on
the capabilities of the monitor mixer, please see the section "Monitor
Mixer Page.”
3. The third option, "S/PDIF In", connects the S/PDIF Out port directly
to the hardware S/PDIF input on the Delta 410 PCI host card. The left
channel of the S/PDIF In is routed to the left channel of S/PDIF Out
and the right channel of the S/PDIF In is routed to the right channel
of S/PDIF Out.
4. The fourth option, "S/PDIF In (L/R Rev.)", functions identically to the
third option, except that the left and right channels are swapped.
Therefore in this mode, the left channel of the S/PDIF In is routed to
the right channel of S/PDIF Out and the right channel of the S/PDIF
In is routed to the left channel of S/PDIF Out.
5. Selection five connects the hardware analog inputs 1 & 2 directly to
the 410’s S/PDIF Out port. In other words, if "H/W In 1/2" were
selected, any signal present at the IN1 RCA jack will be sent to the left
channel of the S/PDIF Out, and any signal present at the IN2 RCA
jack will be sent to the right channel of the S/PDIF Out.
At this point, you may begin to realize the versatility of the Monitor
Mixer and the Patchbay/Router, and the relationship between the
two. You may want to re-read this section and make some practice
adjustments within the Delta Control Panel software to become
proficient in routing and mixing, as well as check out the Tutorials
section toward the end of this manual. If somewhere in the process
you become confused, you may always restore the default settings to
use the card as a straight 4-in 10-out device -- just choose the topmost
option in each of the Patchbay/Router columns.
