Gday

I am having issues setting up multiple outputs with pd. I have attached 4 speakers to my computer and have them all producing sound on different channels of my soundcard. The problem comes when I try to get audio through all 4 in pd. I have stuffed around with the settings for a long time but still I haven't been able get audio through the 2 rear speakers, the front ones are fine. I have tried changing the sound settings from 2 to 4 channels, switching between mmio and asio outputs, etc.
Any pointers would be nice.

Cheers

Also i should say that i am using Pd version 0.41.4-extended and my platform is a PC with windows XP, soundcard is onboard ASUS motherboard with multiple inputs and audio drivers are Realtek.

i only have a stereo sound card, but did you try to use dac~ in your patches like this: [dac~ 1 2 3 4]?
this should result in a dac~ object with 4 inlets. if the audiosettings in pd are set to 4 channles, i would think that this should work. but not sure...

no dice there i have tried [dac~ 1 2 3 4] even up to 8 to see if the configuration was wrong but im still only getting the front 2 channels. I stuffed around in the audio settings for about 2 hours trying to configure the audio settings but no luck there either. Thanks for the reply.

when you say your realtek card has multiple ins, do you get 5.1 sound out with other apps through analog outs? or is it a digital surround output that requires another external dac?
