Hey Paul,
thanks for your fast answer. I am not sure what you are trying to tell me :) You don't seem to believe it is a good idea in general. Well, some of our competitors do exactly this behaviour. I think it is good to have a solution like this since many of our users are not quite fimiliar with any technical stuff, they just want to play music. That's why automatic selection is a good idea from my point. I also have a fireface 400 here :) This is one good example where channel detection is always successful. I believe the overall problem is wrong firmware. regards Matthias >> Am 15.10.2015 um 13:25 schrieb Paul Davis <[email protected]>: >> >> On Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 3:29 AM, Matthias Hänel <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>> Hey Brian, >>> >>> >>> thanks for your fast answer. >>> >>> You are right Apple almost delivers an option for the final solution :) >>> >>> I am quite sure there is not. >>> >>> The main goal of this procedure is to setup the sound device settings >>> without user interaction.
