There are 2 different types of multichannel audio hardware:

1. real multichannel hardware typically comes as external USB or FireWire devices and has 4/8/16 channels of input and output
2. cheabo built-in 5.1 or 7.1 sourround sound cards coming on most modern mainboards.

1. External MultiChannel Audio Hardware

These cards can be addressed in vvvv only using their WDM drivers which always only offer to use their channels in pairs of stereo. These pairs (like 'Channel 1-2', 'Channel 3-4', ...) are exposed via the Driver pin of the AudioOut (DShow9).

Addressing the channels of such a hardware individually only works using ASIO drivers which are not supported by vvvv's native DShow9 nodes but only via the VVVV.Audio.Pack or the the BASS plugins provided by vux.

If you have the addonpack installed look out for a node called AudioOut (BASS Asio) and check its helpfile for further instructions.

2. Built-in 5.1 or 7.1 Sourround Sound Cards

Multiple channels of a built-in 5.1 or 7.1 sourround card can be addressed using the FileStream (DShow9) and WavePlayer (DShow9).
