It is a sort of experiment. Suppose you have a
multi channel audio file,
i.e. composed by, say, three, or four different channels. Is it possibile
(I guess it is), and how?, to send each of the four channels into a
different loudspeaker and so listen to the song...? Do you think, e.g., the
Behringer UMC404HD audio interface will allow to do that?
I bought the Behringer UMC404HD and plugged three loudspeakers into the
`Playback Outputs' set on the back of it.
[...]
I begin to believe and be afraid that what I want is not technically possible
at least with that piece of hardware. Please help on this issue you experts
out there: is it possible and how to do what I want, and is it possible at
all with an audio interface as my Behringer either with some other device...?
It works...!!!
That's what I did:
1) I plugged the Behringer into the mains;
2) I connected the Behringer to the PC via Behringer's USB cable;
3) I plugged 3 amplified loudspeaker (could also be not amplified but then
sound is low) into 3 of the 4 black holes (the TRS ones, but it could be ok
also with the RCA ones, I didn't try yet) of the `PLAYBACK OUTPUTS' system
on the back of the Behringer;
4) from my Linux box I did:
$ ecasound -f:16,3,44100 -i:sndfile,3canali.wav -o alsaplugin,2,0
where `3canali.wav' is a 3-channels file.
And voilĂ : each of the 3 loudspeakers play a different channel of the 3
channels composing `3canali.wav'. There don't seem to be any issue with
Behringer's controls: the `MAIN OUT' and `MIX' knobs can be whatever, such as
the `STEREO/MONO' switch (so it seems).
Thanks to each and all that helped...!
