ALTERNATIVE WORKAROUND ON VLC without multichannel ASIO:

HOW TO PLAY 5.1 VIDEOS ON UR28M and VLC

  1. Install ASIO4ALL: ASIO4ALL driver
  2. Install ASIO LINKPRO: ASIO Link Pro Tool and patches. As I understand, ASIO Link Pro is abandonware and there has been no opposition to patching it. Without the patches, you’ll experience audio dropouts and issues with ASIO4ALL.
  3. Start Asio Link Pro and select START ASIO
  4. Once the window is open, open VLC and play a 5.1 video
  5. Select on Audio Device The first 01 ASIOVADPRO Speakers “Speakers 01 (ASIOVADPRO Driver)
  6. On the Asio Link Pro Panel Link the channels (1 to 6) from
    ASIOVADPRO SPEAKERS IN to ASIODRIVER OUT MIX in the same order
  7. You’ll see the audio playing on each speaker.
  8. Make sure to click on PICK DRIVER and select “Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO”
