[SurroundSound] Re: Any MAC guys in this wonderful group?

Also worth pointing out, open "Audio Midi Setup" and set your sound
card to 96/24, by default it's 44/16. AFAIK OSX honors this setting;
in Windows sounds go to the Windows system mixer and you have to use
something like ASIO to be sure you're getting the audio in its native
format.

FWIW when you convert to ALAC with XLD/Max they will play in iTunes.
However for iDevice playback you have to stay under at max 48/24.

I don't have a 5.1 sound card in my Mac but I am seriously thinking
about slapping an old PC sound card in there and see if I can get 5.1
playback successfully.

Also, even though I'm primarily a Mac guy I also keep a PC and use it
for conversion and playback -- the tools on the PC (such as eac3to and
foobar2000) are terrific and indispensable if you're going to do
surround/hires playback & conversion.
