Newbie question about audio channels

  • Hi all,


    This is my first post and apologies if it's an obvious question but I haven't been able to find an answer for it. I got a Virus Ti2 Desktop, and first of all wow, I love it so far.


    It came with version 5.0.0.3 I believe and in the Mac Audio & MIDI utility it showed as one device with 6 outputs. I didn't take a close look, should've taken a screenshot. However, since I'm on Sierra, I updated to the latest version and now it shows 2 devices with 2 in / 2 out. Bit accurate and core audio. I'm not sure the difference between the two, but I can't help to think that I lost some functionality (outputs) during the upgrade. Is this normal?


    Can anyone provide me the piece of mind that I didn't lose any outputs and that they were only available within Virus Control / DAW anyway? Otherwise would've been cool to use it as a sound card with multiple outputs for my purposes.


    Hope what I wrote makes sense. Thanks for the help!! :D
