Hi everyone
I have bought an RME Multiface about 2 weeks ago and this evening I programmed my first Pure Data spatialisation patch, that uses 4 independant speakers.
Here is one strange issue though :
"pd -listdev" outputs :
[...] audio OUT device #1 : Avance AC97 Audio (a crap motherboard sound card by Intel, I don't use it anymore) audio OUT device #2 : HDSP Analog out 1 & 2 (connected to speakers) audio OUT device #3 : HDSP Analog out 3 & 4 (connected to speakers) audio OUT device #4 : HDSP ANalog out 5 & 6 (connected to speakers) [...]
The Pd launching command line that allows me to use 4 speakers is the following : % pd -outchannels 4 -audiooutdev 2 -audiooutdev 3
In the patch, I use the following object : [ dac~ 1 2 3 4 ] ...which allows me to output the 4 separated signals from the patch (no other arguments working for quadraphony, I tried 3 4 5 6 too, see why below)
... But the problem is that these signals are actually output from the analogue outputs 3, 4, 5 & 6 of the Multiface. Why isn't it from 1, 2, 3 and 4 as configured ?
1 & 2 output no sound in this configuration
For stereo applications, I can use outputs 1 and 2 without any problem.
Any idea :-) ? (for example : what is the generic good working launching command line for full use of the Multiface, and the associated arguments for "dac~" and "adc~" ?)
Good night (0:17 here)
