   Go in the Anubis Settings page > General and activate the Sampling Rate > Auto option.
   The Anubis will then automatically follow the requested sampling rate (for applications that can control the sampling rate).
   Alternatively you may use the Aneman sampling rate zone feature (see Aneman User Manual for details)

3. Note on WDM channel mapping:
   You can set the WDM input and output bridge channels mapping in the Merging Audio Device panel.
   The channel map possibilities depends on the number of channels set in the Channel Settings section
   (If you want to have the WDM output on ASIO channels 63-64, you must have set at least 64 outputs in the Channel Setting)
   
   
4. Now start ANEMAN (if not already started) and connect the ASIO to the Anubis engine.
   You can of course create a dedicated Source for WDM in your Anubis.
   (see Aneman User Manual for details)
