Hi Thorsten,
Thank you for your input. If you like, you could you add a paragraph
that explains how to use a Surround sound card for Mixxx?
With Linux + ALSA this is no deal, my onboard soundcard has 4 x 3,5 mm
output jacks, and the Mixxx hardware preferences are listing 8 channels.
So there is nothing special here. How does it look in Windows?
Is there anything special to setup?
Interestingly, I have never tried this for Mixxx, because I use my
laptop when DJing. This has a single combined microphone/headphone jack.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Hey guys,
at first I wanted to suggest the user to use his only his onboard
interface, because since over a decade? all the chips support
surround sound. There should be a hint how the user sets the onboard
interface into multichannel mode via it's drivers control panel and
then how to configure Mixxx to use each channel for master, cue, and
so on.
Huh? Do you mean multichannel HDMI output? I've never come across an
onboard sound card with more than 2 analog outputs.
But the problem are laptops I recognized while typing. They only have
one line out jack and a mic in. > If it would be possible to
configure the
mic in as a second stereo output it would be no deal (newer onboard
chips are able for i/o switching i read).
AFAIK not that many onboard sound cards support switching the behavior
of jacks and if it is supported, it may not be easy to figure out how
to activate it. Also, having two separate jacks on a laptop seems to
be rare today. My 6 year old laptop has separate mic input and
headphone output jacks, but most new laptops combine the mic input and
headphone output into one jack now.
