Hello,
I wonder if someone could help me with this?!

On my motherboard I have a intergrated soundcard (AC97).
It supports 5.1 sound. Is there any way to have 2 instances of winamp (or other player) and let the first play through "line out front" and the second instance to play out through "line out rear". I know I can have 2 separate soundcards but I would prefer not.

Hope you understand what I meen, my english isn´t that good.

Best regards
Nisse

Hmm I doubt you could do it without a software mixer of some sort. And that mixer would have to have been written with this in mind.
Sorry I can't be more help, but I do not think this can work. Anyone more experienced in this?

with 2 soundcards you could go to preferences -> options and click "allow multiple instances" and save.

Start another instance of winamp and go to preferences, plugins, select directsound or waveout plugin (depending on your choice) and on the drop down list select the other sound card.

As for doing it with only one soundcard I have no idea.

I don't think this is possible - AFAIK the rear speakers are processed from the front ones not separate. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

I wonder if this is possible with foobar2000's channel mapper plugin.

This would easily be possible if you could run multiple instances of foobar. But AFAIK you can not. You can work around this by installing another foobar into a different directory and using the "move stereo to rear channels" dsp. I just did a quick test: it seems to work.

Kx drivers and winamp should work, too. One winamp to 0/1, one to 6/7. You can even add another to 2/3 i think.

ok...
I´m a beginner... :-)
What is Kx drivers
where can i get it and is there anything special I should think about when installting and cofiguring this?
