Roland Quad-Capture Question [Solved]

[RexRed]

I am trying to get things to pipe out of Cakewalk to different outputs.

For the longest time I have not used the digital output 3 + 4 on the Roland Quad-Capture because I had to buy separate hardware to use it.

Well I bought a digital to RCA/headphone box.

Now I have an RCA chord going from the digital output of the Quad Capture to the digital input of the converter box.

I have headphones plugged into the converter box monitoring the audio being sent out of the Quad Capture.

Much to my disappointment, it seems I can only send out the main out of Cakewalk to either output.

I expected that if I sent one track output to 3 + 4 and another track output to 1 + 2 I would only hear each track respectively isolated in each output signal.

What is happening is I can only send out to 1 + 2 and that is heard on both outputs.

If I send the track or master to the 3 + 4 output the output is silent.

What am I doing wrong?

Or, can Cakewalk only send out to one stereo output and that is it?

It seems to be defaulting to 1 + 2

 

UPDATE

I figured it out.

In the Quad-Capture driver menu there is a dropdown that allows you to select the digital out input.

You can select Main, 1 + 2  or 3 + 4.

When I select 3 + 4 then the tracks I have selected  to output to 3 + 4 are only heard on the 3 + 4 output.

This allows me to pipe out certain tracks to 1 + 2 and 3 + 4.

What a relief!
