New MME function in driver version 4.96 (Windows 98SE/ME)


1. DVD Playback

-------------------------------------------

1. DVD PLayback

When using popular DVD software player like WinDVD and PowerDVD you can now send the audio data stream using the SPDIF output of the Hammerfall and of the DIGI96 series cards to any AC-3/DTS capable receiver.

For this to work the SPDIF output wave device of the card has to be selected in 'Control Panel/Sounds and Multimedia/Audio'. Also check 'use preferred device only'.

You will notice that the DVD software's audio properties now allow to use 'SPDIF Out' or to 'activate SPDIF output'. When selecting these the software will transfer the non-decoded digital multichannel data stream using the RME card. 
Warning: This 'SPDIF' signal sounds like chopped noise at highest level. Therefore check 'Non-audio' in the card's Settings dialog, to prevent most SPDIF receivers from accepting the signal. Additionally the analog outputs of the RME cards are muted automatically, to prevent any attached equipment from being damaged.

Note 1: Setting the card to be used as system playback device is against common sense, as such 'Pro' cards are not specialized to playback system sounds and such. To prevent this be sure to re-assign this setting after usage, or to disable ANY system sounds (Tab Sounds, Scheme 'No audio').

Note 2: The DVD player will be synced backwards from the RME card. This means when using AutoSync and/or word clock the playback speed and pitch is detuned according to the incoming clock signal.
