Hi, this is my first time here, allthough I´ve been searching thru the archives for solutions many times. Great list, very helpful! Now to my issue:

I´m making a project with a Gigaport AG with 8 analog out´s, and I want to run all outputs in the same time. On -asio -listdev it says (I only take the outputs now..):

output devices: 0. Microsoft Soundmapper - Output

1. AudioDevice on USB Bus
2. SoundMAX Digital Audio
3. ASIO DirectX Full Duplex Driver
4. ASIO Multimedia Driver
5. GIGAPort AG ASIO driver

API number 4

The only time it works is when I´m writing -asio -audiooutdev 2 (weirdly enough, to me it seems as AudioDevice on USB Bus is on 1, but the "0" counts as the first..) -outchannels 2, then I get 2 channels only. When I´m trying to write more than 2 channels, or when I´m trying to start audiooutdev 6 (GIGAPort AG ASIO driver), nothing works. It´s nothing wrong with the card, as it is working in other applications. I searched for the problem in other places, and I found one interesting thing, here is what another guy on a forum writes (it is not specifically about PD, I skip some unimportant parts, but you get my point..):

"I bought a gigaport AG to use with my laptop. It's a USB to 8 channel analog device. I could not get it to work with Mixmeister. I could only get 2 of the 8 channels of the gigaport to work. I posted this question on the ESI Forum (Gigaport manufacturer.........So, I installed Gigaport per the directions. It uses ASIO 2.0 Drivers V2.61. Mixmeister only sees "Gigaport AG" in the audio output selection boxes, as opposed to 8 virtual outputs (4 stereo)...........It only works from outputs 1 and 2, but nothing else. Is the gigaport 'application sensitive', in other words, somehow Mixmeister have to support it? Any suggestions?

And here was their reply: GIGAPort AG can send out 8 audio channels ...

• with applications supporting ASIO when our ASIO driver is installed (= 1

ASIO device for all 8 channels)

• with applications supporting multichannel MME (WDM) when our ASIO driver

is not installed (= 1 wave device for all 8 channels)

GIGAPort AG does not provide separate MME devices as often used by older Windows 9x/Me compatible audio applications. In case such applications are used, only 2 channel playback is possible and it would be wise to check if there is an update of the software available that either supports multichannel MME devices according to the WDM standard from Microsoft or -even better- ASIO."

I hope someone could confirm that the Gigaport doesnt work with PD, so I can find some other solution. Thank you very much/
