On windows, you can configure your soundcard outputs if your driver
advertise that possibility upto 7.1:
(sorry, french version here)
if you choose this, you can select each output in Mixxx:
But, from my own experience:
* This is generally true with DESKTOP onboard soundcards that have at
least 3 or 4 jacks that can be configured either as input or output, not
on laptops that only have 1 or 2 jacks.
* Most progams use stereo sound output so windows and/or the driver
often do sound processing and upscaling from stereo to 5.1 or 7.1, thus
channel 1-2 output is often mixed in other outputs too. not good for mixing
IMHO this is not a good solution and is most of the time unapplicable to
laptops.

Yes, the onboard soundcard of my desktop device.
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?

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?
Are you referring to the onboard sound card on a desktop computer?
Yeah, the sometimes have more jacks. Whether they can typically
play independent output channels I don't know. I suppose it's
worth mentioning, but I've never seen a laptop with more than a
mic input and headphone output jack.
