Hi, list,

Have anyone tried to have pd's multichannel out on some consumer, non-proaudio sound cards?

I'm doing a small project with Pd that needs individual multichannel out (instead of encoded stuff like AC3, DTS...) to an AV receiver. Instead of using pro-audio sound cards, does any consumer-grade ones kind support this purpose?

I'm thinking of M-Audio 7.1 PCI card or 5.1 PCI card, which only have an array of 1/8 TRS stereo pair outputs there. Not sure if they really allow you to talk to each channel individually.

Are there any other cards similar to these? Suggestions are really appreciated, Thanks!

Check my posts on trying to sort this. I got an Audiophile 192, but it iturned out to have 2 analogue, 2 dig outs! Duhh. Still trying to sort its smooth operation with 2 channels. Not sure which cards you mean (I'm in Australia).
I tell you the M audio Firewire 410 really works!
