RE: Soundcard drivers - multi zone with one card!!!

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Not as far as I can see having researched the docs etc - you only get 4
'devices' showing up in windows per card. You can play different audio on
each device and I guess if your app supported it, you could play different
audio on the left and right channel of each device. Don't know if that'd
work - guess it's down to the app and if it likes to share the device or
not.



However, you can put multiple cards in the PC and do it this way i.e. 2
Audigy's = 8 outputs!



You may want to ask this question on the kX Project forum though - there
are a lot of very knowledgeable people on there.

Paul.

Paul,
Do you know if it's possible to separate even further to have 8 separate
channels/sound cards.
I have mono speakers in each room which I planned to use for announcements,
so no need for stereo.
Cheers,
Nik

This is an extract from the kX Project docs:

Note that the Emu10kX is capable of 4 stereo digital outputs (yes, the
original Live!, and even the 512 PCI, are all 7.1 cards). In order to take
advantage of this fact without using a LiveDrive one can use the
"AUD_EXT"
connectors found on most 10kx cards (although some special knowledge and
experience is generally required) .

Paul,

Glad you got it sorted. I must admit to not following sound cards - have
you
got 7.1-surround versions to get the 8 channels, or have I missed something
?

Thanks,

Tim H.
