bref, sous live dans les configs de sortie j'obtiens strictement la meme chose qu'avec ma carte son stéréo, a savoir ca :

ce que j'aimerais obtenir de live, c'est qu'il me reconnaisse une seconde sortie pour pouvoir brancher un casque et pouvoir entendre au préalable la musique que je vais mixer...comme avec des platines quoi :thepirate

Après tout je m'enflamme, c'est peut etre pas possible avec une simple carte son 5.1

J'ai looker la FAQ sur le site d'ableton, y a rien de pertinant (ou du moins je n'ai pas vu)

Merci !

i have been having probelm with Lexicon Omega soundcard - the way i have to listen to tracks for cueing is that i assign tracks to 1/2 master out and then for cueing i assign to my laptops soundcard in 3/4 and plug my headphones into my laptop headphone socket and not the soundcard headphone socket

im not sure if this is what you are asking for

Yes, it's a good answer, but how to force ableton to recognize my 2 sound card, but i can select one sound card in live preference, so i can't have Channel 1/2 on 1 soundcard, and channel 3/4 on another soundcard :

live doesn't support multiple soundcards

if you want to be able to have a cue output, you need a card with multiple outputs. and as far as i know, surround cards don't really count as "multiple outputs" (i could be wrong)

so to me, your preferences page looks as it should - one pair of outs for your soundcard and that's it

it's okay, i found the solution :

http://www.usb-audio.com/ deliver an ASIO driver for mostly all USB audio card, so i could access to the ASIO mode of ableton and :

youpiiiiiiiiiiiii
