<p>Hi,</p>
<p>this is crap by design! <br>
This is a hack that cannot work reliably, the channels are not
synchronized between the I2S port and the FPGA, sometimes they
mix.<br>
And the card is not always recognized during boot, you must reboot
until it is detected.</p>

<br>
<br>
I bought one octo for a project thanks to Thomas experience,
<br>
It worked great at home when I plugged it on my mix table, but
when I install everything in the project final destination, plug
the sound-card on an amplifier, switch everything on: the sound
card did not works anymore.
<br>
I tried to contact someone at audioinjector, but I hardly have
answer to my question. IT'S THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!
<br>
It's been 2 week, my project is on standby, I'm still stuck with a
broken sound card.
<br>
So I don't recommend this soundcard to anyone and I consider
buying a gigaport instead and throw this crap away.
<br>
<br>
unless someone have a suggestion to a cheaper 8 output soundcard
for a RPI 4.
<br>
<br>
Cheers

Thank you all for your replies. I didn't even know surround
soundcards
<br>
existed. This looks promising given my budget.
<br>
In the meantime I found this :

Anybody has experience using it with Pd ?

<br>
I haven't posted anything on this list in years.
<br>
I'm trying to build a system to play several sound files
in a loop,
<br>
each around 2 minutes in length, all at the same time. By
"several" I
<br>
mean 10 to 15 different files. While I'd have no problem
making a Pd
<br>
patch to achieve this, I have no idea what hardware I
could use. I
<br>
have a limited budget, and I was planning on running Pd on
a Raspberry
<br>
Pi (or similar single-board computer).
<br>
<br>
Is there any cheap way of outputing than many channels
from a single
<br>
(a couple of) RPi ?
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
How many are 'many' :-)
<br>
<br>
If it's <= 8 channels and you don't care (too much) about
latency you
<br>
could check out a cheap '7.1' USB card (these can cost less
than 30 euro
<br>
online) and if it exposes 8 writable inputs via jack that
could work.
<br>
The physical outputs of these are, of course, unbalanced and
in couples
<br>
so you'd need to do some cable splitting and then maybe have
a mixer
<br>
nearby...
<br>
I never did this on the RPi but I _did_ something similar
with a cheap
<br>
5.1 usb sound blaster hooked to a laptop in the past.
<br>
I'm assuming, of course that each file would 'consume' just
1 channel...
<br>
<br>
YMMV.
<br>
<br>
If you want more than 8 output channels it will be hard to
stay 'cheap'
<br>
(which of course depends on 'how much' is your limited
budget), and then
<br>
- of course - you need to check linux compatibility (i.e. if
they are
<br>
'class compliant'...)
<br>
<br>
My two cents,
<br>
<br>
Lorenzo.
