I am having problems sending output to more than 1 sound device. I can send to any one device on my choosing, but when I try to call DirectSoundCreate for the second time (with a different GUID), I get an automation error. HELP PPete
From what little I understand of DirectSound, the creation of DirectSoundObject can only be done once. It creates or allows access to the Primary Buffer which is the sound card. You are looking instead to create multiple DirectSoundBuffers that will be mixed into the DirectSoundObject/PrimaryBuffer

Will a different buffer allow me to output to 2 or more different sound devices simultaniously?

I have a multichannel sound card (wave824) and need to be able to output to all of it''s 4 stereo channel at the same time!

It works if I compile my code and then run it twice on differnt "channels"
