VLC plays my quad files to my square array without any special setting

Ah. Perhaps it’s not out yet.
The betas are available here:

They have also announced a collaboration with 3D sound labs, which could be
very interesting.
No specific dates at the moment tho

The consensus seems to be that the current release of VLC 2.2.8 can't do
it easily, if at all.
If you disagree, would you please provide us with clear instructions how
to do it? We'd love to know!

Hi Len, I've recently set up VLC Player on Linux to play a 6-channel WAV
file. I used an external USB audio interface
Perhaps the "simplest" possible player is a command line one? My
"paplay" program plays (and loops) multichannel files to a nominated
device, and while it does not have interactive facilities it offers full

So far, the best solution is Wavosaur (https://www.wavosaur.com). The
price is right: free, but donations are appreciated. I sent them 20

of course if VLC 3 does allow speaker decodes, that would be the best solution

I have a basic “AudioFilePlayer” plugin which is a hack of the JUCE Demo. Does
the trick, will tidy it up and make it public. Would be nice to to have a
limited patcher for remapping outputs.

Wavosaur plays multichannel files and all channels can be routed through

Do you need/want to use a computer at all?
How about a standalone SD card or HD player?

I should have said "storing pre-decoded signals in a compressed format has
less potential to be problematic" since phase errors likely to upset
pre-decoded material would probably also cause problems with stereo which

Hi,
Just a word of warning, take care using compressed formats like mp4 for
storing B format. If the compression used is lossy, this can screw up the
