I currently have a Sound Blaster Live sound card in my system and I'd like to run another so that I can have two discrete stereo outputs that can play at the same time.

If your wondering why its because I want my computer to emulate a dual CD player that is used for music mixing. I have the mixer and with a single card the two sources are running in mono...

I was just wondering if there any issues that may come up by running two or more sound cards (that are identical)...

 

well u might run into problems. creatives cards are famous for not being the easiest to deal with. if i were you do a search for audio web sites that deal with sound cards. you might be able to find info there to get them runnin in dual

 

Are you able to fade between the front and rear speaker outputs, instead of left and right?

 

Two sound card is not a prob, but 2 creative card you will have a prob, not that you can't but you will have some prob configuring them. I use my creative SB audigy 2 with a integrate alc650 with no prob.

 

Audigy cards are awesome [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] and yes creative cards will give u problems or basically be a pain in the rear.

 

I've got an audigy platnium 2, along with a 16 track recording sound card and external box on the same computer, no problems running under windows 2000.

 

That's what i was talking about way up there I think it's doable also, too lazy to reboot into windows to try it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

 

DJ PC Setup..

Especially works well for BPM Studio

On-Board Sound - Headphones/Monitor
SB Audigy Platinum - Front - Channel 1 L/R
- Rear - Channel 2 L/R

Each channel goes directly into mixer as i perfer the mixer for level control then the computer.

Also there is some high end sound cards that yamaha and voyetra make.. pricey cards though.. usually 4 channel and up..
