Emagic Announces New Audiowerk8 Drivers
January 29, 1998
Emagic announces new Audiowerk8 drivers. Any application
supporting the operating system standards, will be able to
individually address the 8 outputs of Audiowerk8.
Audiowerk8 MME Driver Version 2.0
This new fully native driver supports the new Windows96
standard Multi Channel Interleaved. Interleaved means, that the
transfer of audio channels is handled like stereo drivers except
that 8 channels will be "nested" in time, instead of just 2. This
way, the "technical trick" of multiple synchronized stereo drivers
for the same hardware is avoided.
Audiowerk8 Sound Manager Driver Version 1.0
This driver offers 2 channel recording and 8 channel playback.
With Audiowerk8, Emagic is one of the first hardware
manufacturers to support the new MacOS multi-channel audio
standard which was released during an Apple developer
conference in late 1997.
Availability
The new drivers are shipping now. Owners of older Audiowerk8
cards can download the new drivers from Emagic's homepage free of charge. For more information, visit their web site at www.emagicusa.com. |
