Hi Paul, I run 7.1 with Solid State Logic converters, but Resolve doesn't support ASIO, so I have to use the SSL's WDM drivers for windows. If you right click on the speaker icon in the task bar and go to sound settings, see what output devices you have available. There should be multichannel WDM drivers for the RME (provided you chose to install them when you first ran the drivers installer), but I'm pretty sure WDM can't support more than 8..I've only ever seen it up to 8 channel. Under ASIO with Pro Tools I can access all 48 ins and outs on my converters, but not with WDM drivers. Nuendo will be using the ASIO drivers, so different story there.
I believe you may need to use the Fairlight Audio Accelerator card plus a set of MADI converters to access more than 8 outputs, but don't quote me on that..there are a few other audio guys on here so hopefully one of them knows a little more about taking things beyond 8 channels. At the studio I work at they have the accel card and Fairlight converters and get over 8 outputs.
