#70 Multiple audio devices
Hi,
Could you add the ability to use more than 2 audio channels? I would love to have that feature to play the manuals on different speakers as this would make it more realistic. For example the Positiv where the Positiv would be on the real organ and the Hauptwerk somewhere above it. I already bought a soundcard for that, but today I realised that Grand Orgue doesn't support the feature. I would be glad if you could implement that feature. :)
Discussion
GrandOrgue supports multiple channels, number of channels is limited by device channel count. Just click on audio interface in audio and midi options and then click add channel. Both PortAudio and RTAudio API supports it. Multiple devices as far as I know are not supported yet. In case you need to output through multiple devices (and you are Linux user) you can use jack deamon with alsa_out to secondary device. Also you can create Alsa PCM device, that use both cards, but this is not optimal due to different clock timing in interfaces.
So, I got it now half the way working , my only problem is that I can only use 2 channels per audio device, which is a problem because i have a 7.1 channel soundcard (and the intern one) and want to use at least 5 channels (2 for the hauptwerk and pedals, 2 for the positiv and 1 for a subwoofer)
What OS are you on? Windows Linux? Clicking on add as shown in attachment does not work?
I have Windows and can't add more than 2 channels even tho it's a 7.1 channel device

Try using different driver, not Direct Sound. WDM-KS driver seems to be more stable, as there is direct access to audio interface. Also try removing first audio interface and use only 7.1
Now it's working. Thanks! First I didn't find the audio device as wdm-ks in the list and then I realised that I forgot to restart my PC after plugging in the soundcard for the first time. Now it's running perfectly! :)
glad to hear it :)
