This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Re: Suggest audio component(s) for 5.1 monitoring?

Right. Returning to this subject, as deadlines now loom, and still needing to monitor 5.1 on my late 2014 iMac w/10.8.5 and MC 7.03, I finally voted with my wallet and went with Job's suggestion and purchased the Denon DN-AV500 (~900 USD), and instead of trying the AJA T-Tap he suggested I went with the BMD UltraStudio Mini Monitor (driver 10.2.1) that I already had.

The Denon is a great receiver and surround pre-amp, no remorse there. The problem is in getting my 5.1 SMPTE (L, R, C, Lfe, SL, SR) to come out in the proper speakers. Would the AJA T-Tap be better at this IO?

I've been working on this for hours, in a variety of configurations (in MC7, straight SMPTE, SMPE Direct Out, Audio Midi Interface variations)... MC clearly sees and implements the BMD UltraStudio Mini Monitor, but the Audio Midi interface sees only 2 channels of output from it, though it will happily map 5.1 speaker output correctly to my ear and speaker. It just doesn't play that way in MC.

Bottomline, with the BMD UltraStudio Mini Monitor on, the center channel is currently coming out the LFE.

Any help or suggestions very deeply appreciated!
