# oss\_digi96(7)

RME Digi96 professional audio driver.

## NAME

**oss\_digi96** - RME Digi96 professional audio driver.

## DESCRIPTION

**Audio driver for the RME Digi96 family of profressional audio controllers.**

- •

  **Only 16 and 24/32 bit audio formats are supported.**

- •

  **All Digi96 family members support 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 64kHz, 88.2kHz and** **96kHz. sampling rates.**

## MIXER PANEL

**Note! For recording you need to set digi96.sync to INTERNAL and the values** **of digi96.mode and digi96.input to match your studio setup. Otherwise** **recordings will fail with I/O error.**

**There are several settings that can be changed using the ossmix program** **shipped with OSS. Note that some features don't work with all Digi96** **family members. For example ADAT mode is not supported by the base** **model.**

- •

  **digi96.mode \<SPDIF\|AESEBU\|ADAT\>:** **This setting controls the output mode which can be S/PDIF (consumer),** **AES/EBU (professional) or ADAT. The input mode is detected automatically.** **If ADAT input is detected the output mode will be switched to ADAT** **automatically (this doesn't work in the other direction).**

- •

  **digi96.sync \<EXTERNAL\|INTERNAL\>:** **This setting tells if the playback sampling rate is based on the internal** **oscillator or the sample rate detected in the input port. See also the** **definition of the digi96.worldclk setting.**

- •

  **digi96.input \<OPTICAL\|COAXIAL\|INTERNAL\|XLR\>: Selects the active input.**

- •

  **digi96.sel \<BYPASS\|NORMAL\>:** **When set to BYPASS the input signal will be routed directly to the** **output (also sets digi96.sync automatically to EXTERNAL). In this mode** **audio data written to /dev/dsp will be muted.**

- •

  **digi96.worldclk ON\|OFF:** **Setting this control to ON will enable the optional worldclock input as** **the sample rate source (overrides the digi96.sync setting).**

- •

  **digi96.emph ON\|OFF:** **Enables/disables the de-emphasis option on the analog (monitor) output** **connector.**

- •

  **digi96.data \<AUDIO\|AC3\>:** **Specifies if the output signal is audio or AC3 data (sets the non-audio** **bit in the channel status data).**
