96 I/O as a surround output on OS X?
 

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a way to use the 96 I/O as the 5.1 output for the OS X DVD player.
Everything works fine in stereo. The core audio driver talks to the interface, everything sounds fine...

But I couldn't figure out how to set up the rear speakers, center and LFE. The AMS shows only 2 outpus (greyed out) for the Digidesign HW.

I am using a Mac Pro, OS 10.4, Pro Tools 7.3 with all the latest updates.

I need this to check other DVDs as reference for my productions and to play DVDs customers bring in.

Your help is highly appreciated!

Thanks!

It doesn't work that way. The DVD player is only set up to do surround when using the Mac's Digital output.

Workaround: Mac digital output into the 96i/o then bussing in PT

via Neyrinck SoundCode:

"When using SoundCode to decode from a DVD player, you must set up your Pro Tools hardware to use the DVD input as the clock source. The picture below is an example where the DVD player is connected to the optical input".
