Can I connect 5 of these to get 10 independent audio output channels generated by the computer via usb?

Yes, u can. This cards supports asio and u can use asio4all. It will works like an aggregate audio in mac. But, with the sum of price of 5 this, u can buy a sound card with more in and out. (sorry by poor English)

In theory you can, i have 2 usb cards connected to my laptop, plus the internal one, and all of them work, so in theory it should work. The only problem i see, is how the computer would identify each one of the usb audio interfaces, and how the user (you) would know each interface. Another thing that can help is to use the ASIO4ALL audio driver, if you are using Windows. Hope this helps.

If they all share the same USB controller you may have some traffic congestion problems.

On a PC, probably not. Your software will ask you which of the 5 devices to use and then you will have the 2In/2Out of only the device that you pick. On Mac it should be possible though, create an aggregate device... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1215 Does Windows have something like that now? I don't use Windows for music anymore, so not sure... maybe someone will let us know. Also, on a Mac it should work in theory, but who knows if the driver will be able to handle all those similar devices at the same time... you will have to try and see what kind of quality you get... might stutter or crackle etc. Good luck! It is a cool idea... I hope it works for you. On a PC, probably not. Your software will ask you which of the 5 devices to use and then you will have the 2In/2Out of only the device that you pick.

Without trying, I have no clue. However, what are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to create a mixer? For the price of 5 of these, you could get a decent mixer. Otherwise, even if you could essentially create 10 different outputs, I'm not sure there are any programs out there that would be designed to see 10 different audio sources. I could be mistaken. Regardless, I'm willing to bet there''s something out there that can already do what you need it to do, instead of piling up a bunch of external sound cards.

people really don't know what they're talking about. it all depends on your software. you can plug in several at a time, and if you're using studio software you can select each input individually through asio drivers. if you're just using plain windows, you can set "listen" on each input device and it will play it's sound out of the speakers you select.

Buy a mini 5 channel behringer mixer and musical deviceconnected to preamp in back of computer,or get a behringer usb interface to connect audio devices to usb cable port.

I haven't used audacity for this product but you should be able to use all four inputs simultaneously

Technically you could hook up 5 mics but you would likely need an adapter from XLR to 1/4 phono for four of them and you would only have a 'Balanced' input for the one (whatever that means)

6 channels. The speaker out put is single but can be split with a splitter. The MP3 input works well. The MIDI files preprogrammed are ok but they get old quick. Hope this helps.

The Best way is to have some kind of sound board connected before you plug it into the computer but you can also go from the output on the amp into a 1/4 inch jack to the smaller 1/8 mic input on the back of your computer

I assume you are trying to take one signal and send it to four different speakers. I would get something like the Behringer MX288 8 Channel mixer

plug in the usb to laptop or desktop and other small USB plugs to speaker box

Here's a possibility: USB Multi-Channel Sound Converter With 5.1 7.1 Surround I haven't tried it yet but there are many positive comments

Same problem here. Changing the "Audio setting > SPDIF Output Configuration" settings effects which channels come through, but I can never get all 5.1 channels to go through

Yes. You need an interface though. I use the Sapphire 6 USB and it works pretty good. There are many choices at different price points out there but I liked this one because of the strong pre-amps in it.Focusrite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface

Also, if what you want to do is hook up a studio-quality microphone to your computer (rather than mix several audio inputs in realtime) you're better off with a dedicated mike preamp like the Art Tube Studio and a USB sound card (cheap ones are fine).

Audio out on any system will work. You may need a spliter. One into two. Pretty cool.

Yes. The output can be connected with any amplified device, like computer speakers.

You can plug only 1 computer at the time ... The channel's in simple words are the amout of songs that you can mix at the time..

You must only use one input at a time but if you connect them to an interface you can record the output of the interface through the speakers as well
