Speaker Fading

Hi, this is my first post here, so I hope ive posted it in the right place as I cant see a specific forum for it.

Anyway, here is what I want to achieve. Say I have a 4 way speaker setup ( 2 front speakers, 2 rear speakers), what I would like to be able to do is to have a way of setting how much audio each pair gets. So for example I could fade all the way forward so the front 2 speakers only are playing, or fade all the way backward so only the rear speakers are playing, or be in the middle so all speakers are playing.

Is there a way I can achieve this in my VB application ?

Thanks in advance! :wave:

What sound card do you have ?
Is your sound card capable of quad output ?

If it's not, then you won't be able to do it, since most sound cards output as stereo (2 channels).

hi m8

Thanks for the quick reply. :thumb:

My current sound card is just your normal stereo ouput configuration, however I would like to be able to detect if the user has a quad ouput soundcard, and if so, offer them this functionallity.

Thanks!

Well, if you want your program to do that, then you need a quad sound card to test your program.
And I can't help you because of the same reason, I don't have a quad sound card. I thought that maybe if you have one, then I cound just make a test program, send it to you, and you would be able to give me feedback on whether it works or not.
It will be hard to find code for quad sound that works as soon as you copy and paste the code into your program without testing.

Hi m8,

Thats a fair comment, and what I expected really. It is something that I will need to invest in as it's something that I want to be able to support.

Thanks.
