What kind of USB DAC supported by max2play for multiroom purpose?

Hi mbricogn,

Thank you for your post.

Since there exist so many differenz USB DACs, it is impossible to do tests with each of them. Accordingly, we cannot tell you if the USB DAC you mentioned would work with Max2Play. However, we have made good experiences with the Logilink 7.1 and X-Fi USB-DACs so far.

Hi Simon,
This application has been discussed here already (https://www.max2play.com/forums/topic/multisqueeze-mit-logflink-7-1-usb-soundkarte/). However, it was unfortunately a German thread. So I will try to convey the discussion in English with the technical logs and commands inserted.

kippi has a Logilink 7.1 and wants to give each channel on the card a different binding. He uses the Premium Plugin „Multisqueeze“ for these separate channels. In Audioplayer he sets the parameter „-o hw:1,0“, the sound card as USB sound card and sysdefault….alsa
In MultiSqueeze he goes to the Advanced Options and puts in „-o garage“ (which refers to a binding in the asound.conf)

He then configures the following under asound.conf (where he set up the sound card and split up the bindings by testing them with headphones):

`pcm_slave.logilink {
pcm “hw:1,0″
channels 8
rate 44100
# format “S16_LE”
# periods 128
# period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
}

pcm.garage {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type dshare
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_gid audio
ipc_perm 0660
slave logilink
bindings [ 0 1 ]
}
}

pcm.bad {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type dshare
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_gid audio
ipc_perm 0660
slave logilink
bindings [ 2 ]
}
}

pcm.schlaf {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type dshare
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_gid audio
ipc_perm 0660
slave logilink
bindings [ 7 ]
}
}

I hope this helped you. If you still have questions about the setup, you might contact kippi in his thread.
