Hi jtremble
Are you sure it's a spdif vs analog problem/ I think MC simply doesn't work in multi-zone mode with the Delat 410 (anyone from J River care to comment - several similar threads here remain unanswered!)
I purchased MC specifically for it's ASIO capabilities and multi-zone feature. Now I find that only one zone can use ASIO and in any case, multi-zone does not appear to work with my Delat 410.
If someone has managed to get it working, please let me know!
I've set up two zones, set each to wave and selected channels 3/4 for the first and 5/6 for the second. I've selected M-Audio MultiChannel as the default device in Windows Audio Control Panel.
With that config and playing different tracks in each zone via MC10, I observe in the m-audio control panel that audio is playing back in channels 1/2. (if I listen to these channels I hear both tracks!)
This is odd as nowhere in MC have I selected channels 1/2 as playback channels.
Comments/pointers appreciated.
I have m-audio 5.10.00.0046 drivers, MC10 10.0.173 and Win XP SP2.
Thanks
Peter
