Streaming surround content? ArmyOfQuad 12/11/2008 6:47:01 PM I have noticed a few online streams doing surround with windows media, so I figured I'd give it a try. I can easily figure out how to do live streaming in stereo, or how to stream in surround from 6 mono wav files. However, I have not found a way to do live surround streaming. I am guessing my hardware isn't adequate for this. I'm sure it is possible to do this, since there are at least 2 online radio stations streaming surround. What hardware will allow me to do this, and how do I do this? Any information anyone may have about this would be greatly appreciated.

You need an audio device that can be opened as a single 6-channel device. The semi-professsional devices should work, e.g. M-audio, MOTU, Echo Audio. -- http://www.chrisnet.net/code.htm [MS MVP for DirectShow / MediaFoundation]
