Channel Audio

Posted on Monday, August 30, 2010 in Car Amplifiers

How can I assign an audio channel to a program?

Because my computer supports 7.1 audio, it has lots of spare audio jacks that I want to assign to different programs. I'm currently using 2 (Front left and right + rear left and right) out of a possible 4 output jacks leaving surround left and right + center free. I want the surround left and right to act as another stereo output for VMware player with XP running. Is there a program out there that can do this?

Can't think of any programs that do channel mapping for other programs. And that's just for plain Windows on its own; I doubt that a virtualized OS would be any different.

I do know that Media Player Classic (a program for Windows) can freely map channels for its own output. Also, some programs can output to a different *device*, but not to specific channels; however, you would need an additional sound card.
