Unrecoverable playback error: Device has 8 output channels, expected 2

Hi,
I'm unable to playback audio (flac files) when using Foobar 2000 (latest beta version) with my Mykerinos Audio Card.
Foobard detect and configure the Asio driver for the Mykerinos.
But I soon as request a playback  fropm Foobar I got this message and Foobar crashed: Unrecoverable playback error: Device has 8 output channels, expected 2

The Mykerinos support up to 8 channels, my goal is to use Out 1 and 2 to playback from Foobar.

The Mykerinos work fine with CUE 1.7 from Gasteropods.
CUE 1.7 support multichannel audio card.

I understand that I'm probably the only one using the Mykerinos, but I'm available to help for testing.

CUE 1.7: http://www.gasteropod.ch/

I have the exact same problem with the ASUS HDAV 1.3 Slim. The unrecoverable playback error will occur when trying to use analog speakers (HD Audio connection on the card) as the playback device. No errors occur when using the S/PDIF device. This only happens with the latest beta, ver 1.0.

Before, Foobar was crashing as soon as I change settings in Asio configuration page.

Now I could access the Myekerinos Asio parameters but I get the error message, when I tried to playback.

Hey Hey Surprise ! Foobar v 1.0.1 don't crash anymore.
I'm now able to playback Flac files trough the Mykerinos.

Changing parameters live on the Mykerinos made the signal distorted (samples are repeated) but navigating trough Foobar don't create drop outs.

Thanks for the fix.

The Mykerinos Mixer closed by itself when the playback is stopped, but so far , it re-start every-time.

Both problems (cited above) are still present with v1.03 and the Mykerinos board.

Just install v.1.1.1 and Foobar2000 is unable to recognize the Mykerinos board.
A Foobar error message mention that: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merging Technologies\Nexperia\tmcrt.dll couldn't be found.
The tmcrt.dll  file is present and VS3Check (a standalone app to start the Mykerinos Mixer) is working fine.
Going back to V.1.0.3 fix the problem.
So there is some kind of regression in that matter with v 1.1.1

Same driver problem (regression) when using Foobar v1.1.5 and the Merging Mykerinos card
The Mykerinos driver is properly installed. (tmcrt.dll is present in the right folder)
Here's the error message reported by Foobar2000.
