Hello,

I'm trying to help a friend which uses pd but is not on the list. I would like to ask the following question:

I'm trying to use a Audiotrak Maya44 soundboard to get four outchannels. We use the normal drivers in windows 98 and it works, but in pd .34 the output comes only in stereo, either between the 1st and 2nd channels, or 3rd and 4th, or both mixed (1+3 and 2+4), never in 4 independent channels.

I'm not sure if the problem is with the configuration flags, or a problem with the driver. Should I use "pd -channels 4", or "pd autiooutdev x,x"? Should I also use "-asio"? I've tried with the option -channels 4, both with no result. Should this option only say how many channels are necessary, or specify also which?

Does anybody use this soundboard, and if so, has met this error? The card is ASIO compatible (version 2.0), but does pd uses the asio device automatically, or is necessary some kind of installation? (as I said, normal windows programs work with 4 tracks)

Thank you very much,

Klaus Schedl
