5 Audial AYA 5
USB CHANNELS CONFIGURATION
The AYA 5 USB stage offers four channel functionality,
yet its use as a USB stereo DAC is straightforward.
In Windows, the channels can be configured at Control
Panel -> Sound. Under the Playback tab you will find
the Audial USB device, and Configure button will pop
up another, a self-descriptive window.
In most cases, for stereo operation, this can be set to
either Stereo or Quadraphonic, with no change
regarding the first two (front) channels.
If set to Quadraphonic, the first two channels are
normally available at AYA 5 analog outputs, while two
more (rear) channe
l s will be available as a digital
output at its A-link (HDMI) output conn e ctor.
For more advanced multichannel operation, it is
recommended to use dedicated audio software.
Foobar2000 is a good starting point, for its
" Custom
channel mapping " for ASIO output, and digital
" Crossover " plugin.
