MOTU UltraLite MK3 ASIO problem in MATLAB

I have been using a 10x10 channel Roland Octa-capture. Due to frequency non-linearity I had to switch to MOTU UltraLite MK3. I have been trying to get it work with Matlab, but, with not much luck.

The device works fine with Adobe Audition. But, in Matlab, it doesn't work.

It is a 12x10 channel device. Using playrec('getDevices'), I see it as a 14x14 device. I wonder if anyone encountered the same problem. I would greatly appreciate any help in this regard.

I am not sure what you mean by "12x10" and "14x14", but I do see in the documentation that the Hybrid version (which seems to be the only one available now) has 10 channels of input and 14 channels of output.

By 12x10 I mean 12 channels of Output and 10 Channels of input. Well, I just checked and you are right its is 14x10.

Hybrid refers to the support for both USB and Firewire.

This is the windows manual for the device:

Okay, so the current problem is that playrec('getDevices') is reporting 14 inputs even though there are only 10? Is that interfering with use of the device?

Ajay, ASIO devices are supported in the DSP System Toolbox using dsp.AudioRecorder and dsp.AudioPlayer in MATLAB or To Audio Device and From Audio Device blocks in Simulink. You just have to go to MATLAB preferences and select ASIO as your Audio Hardware API on the DSP System Toolbox tab of the preferences. There is no limit on the number of channels and channel mapping is supported (working with a subset of available channels).

How to send an audio file to different channels of an audio interface Motu ultralite mk3 in matlab 2016a on windows

I used this code

X = uigetfile;
[Aw, fs] = audioread (x);
 Player = audioplayer (aw, fs, 24);
 Play (player)

Every time you play audioplayer (aw, fs, 24, id);

Error using audioplayer (line 223)
Could not find the specified device

Error in pru (line 10)
 Player = audioplayer (aw, fs, 24.2);

Use info = dspAudioDeviceInfo to know my card ID

Please help! With examples

You appear to be trying to mix dsp ASIO device information with audioplayer() which is not for DSP work. You should be using AudioDeviceWriter or dsp.AudioPlayer
