[simpits-tech] USB Sound cards

[Brian Sikkema]

>I noticed these  sound cards on Ebay. Anyone played
with these?  I wonder if multiple units can be >used
to route certain software sounds through separate
speakers.

Poor boy's way of doing it, if you only have 2
different places to send the sounds to and have
access to the sound files:

Say you have cockpit environment sounds going through
speaker set A, and other sounds going through the
headset, or speaker B.

Edit all of the sound files so that the sounds you
want going through set A are faded entirely to the
left, and sounds for set B and faded entirely to the
right.

After that, simply send the wires for the left
channel exclusively to set A, and for the right
channel to set B.

Aside from editing the sound files, no software
trickery required, and no more complicated to wire
than just a regular sound setup.

Downside of course being the loss of stereo or
surround sound. But for some applications (mine
included) there really isn't a need for it.
