Just finished testing the kX Project audio drivers on my W2K Server. I
alre=
ady have whole house audio via a 6 source, 6 zone amp but wanted another
in=
put/output for a different project I=92m working on. Unfortunately I didn=
=92t have any spare PCI slots in the server so went looking for an
alternat=
ive way of doing it=85

With a supported sound card (recent-ish 5.1 SoundBlaster), installing
these=
drivers allows you to access the multi channel capabilities of your sound =
card INDIVIDUALLY =96 i.e. front left/right channels; rear left / right
and=
centre / sub appear as a separate devices in Windows. I=92ve tested 3 sets=
of channels with winamp driving each set with DIFFERENT songs simultaneous=
ly.  :-)

May be an alternative to adding multiple sound cards in a PC and a card
lik=
e the Audigy 2 is pretty cheap these days :-)  Just thought I=92d share.
