Request change in handling of multi-channel
RD James:
I think we need to see images of Audio Path when a 5.1 file is playing correctly, and an image of the error received when the output is changed from "5.1 channels" to "source number of channels".

In Media Center:
Open Device for Exclusive Access turned on.
In the Windows Playback device:
Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device off. (So MC tries to take control and can't.)

That should prevent playback on any audio device.
If you disable exclusive access, you can't play back audio using exclusive access.

I have to assume that there is a USB driver for the Meridian 861V8 if it has a USB input, or more likely that it would be detected as a USB Audio device if connected. It might need some configuration using MConfig though.
Of course, the issue could be with the Meridian 861V8 itself, selecting an input profile and sticking to it, or telling MC it is a Stereo device even though it could change to a Mch device.

The USB input on the 861v8 is only two-channel. How I wish it were multi-channel.

I agree.

tbng, have you found the Audio Path in MC now? https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Audio_Path

Yeah, I know. I was trying to get MC to propose changing a 5.1 file output to 2.0. I'm sure I've seen that message before, when the "Auto configure output" setting was set to Ask. Couldn't produce it with a Video file. Need to get a 5.1 FLAC onto this PC to see if I can make it happen. I believe I need to have Exclusive Access turned on for the whole audio path, or Windows will step in and ruin things.

I have a similar problem. In some playlists I have a mixture od SACD 2CH and SACD 6 CH files. In a DSP settings I set the output to 2 Channel as my DAC (using ASIO driver) is only a 2 channel DAC. I am also using JMRSS Mixing (recommended). My intention is clear: I would like that JRiver passes 2 channel DSD signal to the output as it is but in case of 6 channel signal to downmix it to a 2 channel. The later does not work and I get an error saying that my DAC does not support 6 channel output (which I know).
My question is: how to activate downmixing of the 6 channel DSD stream to a 2 channel DSD stream ?
RoderickGI:
Set the Output Format for the Zone to 2xDSD in Native Format?
