Hi all
just updated our drivers for the M Audio Fastrack Ultra 8R - we have 2  (which were way out of date ! ) and now have an odd issue.
Now running 6.1.9 from here http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Ultra-8R-Drivers

before , the Ultra8R would show in windows sound control panel as ONE device which could be set to 2 or 8 channel in the drop down box -properties /advanced 
Then the myriad drop downs for assigning were obvious….
It now shows as SPEAKERS, plus the 8 line outs in pairs and the drop down in speakers can not be set to multichannel.
this  works with a bit of fiddling however it has to be set as in the picture.
As you will see, channels 7+8 shows as SPDIF now as well which is confusing - they seem to share analog 7+8 with it 
Does anyone have any idea why it has changed so radically?  One of the big drawbacks is that now if we remote team viewer in , we can ONLY hear channels 1+2 so can't check segues etc.
Ive tried and tried to no avail..it seems any driver after 6.0.8  (which is old!) has this "feature"

any help much appreciated !
