hey so i'm running windows xp, max 5 and a m-audio firewire 1418 and i am having trouble using more than 2 inputs. In the DSP options section i selected Firewire multi (to multichannel audio driver) and I checked that the box was getting a signal in the m-audio software. Also, i can get the first two channels in and out of max, so i know that they are talking.

I can't tell if this is the problem IO mappings section will only allow me to assign the left or right channels for all of the audio inputs. Also, the inputs section always says that there are only 2 inputs and outputs.

Anyone have suggestions or experienced something similar?

man, could someone at least tell me whether the IO mappings area is what allows me to assign more than 2 channels in out? I read the doc and couldn't figure it out. In the doc the assign the first like 6 inputs to either the left or right channels. I tried this but, logically, only got the left or right channels coming into inputs 3 - 8.

really, ANYTHING helps. i need a cardboard sign or something.

your adc~ and dac~ should contain the logical channel numbers that you wish to use, like this, [adc~ 1 2 3 4 5 6] or [dac~ 1 2 3 4 5 6].

The i/o status window is one way to assign which device channels are assigned to which input channels.

ok, thats pretty much as far as i am. I have the adc 1 2 3 4 5 etc but all that comes out the extra inputs is the left or right channel depending on how i assign them in the io mappings deal.

Should there be more inputs or outputs to assign in the mapping section?

Will it read more than 2 inputs and 2 outputs at the bottom of the dsp status window if i do it right?

This is totally dependent on what your audio driver provides.

If your hardware/driver only has 2 in/out, then this is all you will get.
