Sorry--I have no good news for you... and perhaps this knowledge only adds to your injury. The ASIC in your sound card has many, many times the potential that it actually gets used for--up to 10,000 MIPS on a quad-core DSP and up to 128 channels.

So, should it surprise you that you can't use 6 separate channels with your sound card now that you know what a colossal waste of hardware it is to put the ca20k2 chip in a 5.1 sound card?

hi
I am trying to get this sound blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 sound card to work on windows with 6 outputs
http://www.google.com/search?q=Creative+Soundblaster+X-Fi+Surround+5.1&h...
The idea is to get a
adc~ 1 2 3 4 5 6
and route different sounds to each of the outputs that connects to self powered mono speakers.
But I am going nuts. The card only works with 2 outputs under ASIO. And with the default configuration if I set 6 outputs it does some kind of 5.1 mixing. I have tried to disable all 5.1 stuff under control panel but no way...
anyone? thanks
