I'm not too familiar with using dedicated audio interfaces on Windows, but I find myself trying to get more than two channels to output on Windows in Pd with a Presonus Firepod, and all it allows for is stereo. Instead of one device that has 10 ins and 10 outs, I get 5 devices that each have 2 ins and 2 and outs.  This is not what I need. On both mac and linux you're given a single device with the correct number of channels, but not on windows?

Does anyone know how to achieve multichannel i/o on windows with a device like this?

cheers,

Rich
