On windows, you can configure your soundcard outputs if your driver
advertise that possibility upto 7.1:

if you choose this, you can select each output in Mixxx:

And yes, at least with ALSA they are treated just as an generic 8 channel
soundcard.
I assume that there can be crosstalk issues, but that is the same issue if
you use a splitter cable.
@Thorsten: can you verify that his for windows?

Soundcards integrated on controllers tend to offer an ASIO driver in order
to give better latency.
The way this driver is implemented depends on the brand and maybe also on
model.
Generally, the driver allows to switch to ASIO mode or to WDM mode. This
means that such soundcard cannot be used

No, most Soundcards have a WDM driver and some have also an ASIO driver.
It looks like all listed USB soundcards works with the gneric Windows
USB sound driver.
This might be the usually story:
* A user byes an USB soundcard with an ASIO driver from CD
* He installs the ASIO driver, and
Wouldn't that normally be the case when combining an external sound card

Ok, I have read a bit more. The only reason that justifies asio4all is to

Using asio4all without any other Asio device is just an unnecessary
software between Mixxx and the soundcard.
Using two WDM soundcards via asio4all
Ah, ok I understand. Asio4all makes the things worse. We already recommend
to not use it at all. I think we already have a paragraph for it so we can
remove the crackling issue from the asio4all unrelated paragraphs. And give
an advise "If you think you need asio4all, use WDM"

We still have the issue with ASIO on Windows only supporting one sound
card at a time. ASIO4ALL can present an aggregate device, but in this
case, if I understand correctly, Mixxx's clock sync code is irrelevant.
Users have reported crackling using ASIO4ALL this way (

Hi Be,

works nice without any notable crackling with two soundcards and we schould

I have added a note about that in the table for the Behringer UFO202. I
