Multiple Outputs...

I bought myself an Echo Indigo Playback card for my laptop, which has 1 output duplicated on 2 jacks. I thought I could have 1 jack going to my speakers, 1 jack going to my CD recorder and use the standard output on my laptop for the headphones.
But I go to set this up in Live 5 and you can only set one output device, either the Indigo or the laptop output.
Anyone know a way around this ?

This is kind of a limitiation of LIVE. But also it is related to the audio driver model being used. Basically, with an ASIO driver you cannot mix different hardware.
You may look into a free driver called ASIO4ALL that is capable to make more than one soundcard visible to LIVE (
http://www.asio4all.com/). But it doesn't allways work.

Mac or PC? That'll at least get the right people thinking about your problem.

Oh yeah, sorry, I'm using a PC laptop.
I'll give that ASIO prog a try also, sounds wicked.....

Got ASIO4ALL working, my two sound cards show up activated in ASIO4ALL, but I can still only see the outputs for the Indigo in Live 5.
Has anyone else got this setup to work ?

hey mate,
using ASIO4ALL, set up an extra audio channel/track with the input as "resample"
turn the monitor ON, and set output of the channel/track to "external" and then select your 2nd output.
this clones your master channel and outputs it to a 2nd output.
good luck.

does this work with macs?
A friend has a G4 laptop and an Audiotrak Maya 44. He'd like to run the two stereo channels from the Maya into a DJ mixer and still have a third output for headphones (the headphone out on the Maya cannot be assigned via Live and is a combination of all the outs.)
I know nothing about macs and haven't had a use for ASIO4All

Merging soundcards is a feature that comes with osx tiger. do a search for "aggregate".
