I’m using an Antelope Audio Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core.
The device connects via USB and has 20 ASIO channels. I’d like to set the Roon playback channels to 19 and 20 instead of 1 and 2, is there a way to do this?
Are there plans to make this possible in the future?
No, not inside of Roon. Roon is a (simple) playback software and not an Audio workstation. It also doesn’t come with a configurable virtual soundcard to solve such audio routing issues. I’m sorry but you have to search for a solution outside of Roon. There were other, similar threads in the past that you can find using the search function of the forum. Sadly I can’t remember if any of those contains a solution (software) found by the user.
There are no known plans currently and Roon Labs doesn’t provide a roadmap or similar. Their publicly shared plans for the immediate future are the Software Release Notes for the early-access branch of Roon.
Can this not be done via Procedural EQ or does Roon not allow addressing / recognizing arbitrarily large channel counts on an ASIO device?
There’s also the option of HQPlayer which would allow this sort of channel mapping
I don’t use Roon itself for playback, everything goes to HQPlayer so I’m really not familiar with Roon’s internal DSP functions or channel limitations.
