Hi Roon Dev Team @brian
Can you please allow 3 and 4 channel layouts.
Or even better, allow the user to just select a number from 2 to whatever, like HQPlayer allows me to do.
It’s currently very restricting for people doing multichannel DSP.

Thanks for getting back to me. I actually found a work around and it was to create a silent phantom 5th channel for my quad channel files. Now they play. A forum member over at quadraphonicquad.com created this functionality in software he developed. Probably worthwhile sharing this info with the greater Roon community but, I don’t know the best recommended way to do so,
Would you please share a link where I can get this sowftware.
Is it for win10 or linux?
Here’s the link to the thread and go to the first post. I don’t know about Linux but I use it on a Windows machine.
Please see my posting here, I solved the issue
Solution for 4-Channel Motu M4 or focusrite audio interface and XO in a F.A.S.T configuration - Tinkering - Roon Labs Community
@DrCWO Glad to see you solved it. I’m pretty tech savvy but that solution is way over my head! Hopefully Roon will be able to implement a permanent fix on their side in 1.8 or in the near future
I tested the Motu M4 Four-Channel Audio Interface.
Very nice device but only two playback channels can be used in roon!
Going to the “Device Setup -> Show Advanced” I only can select “Channel Layout” of 2.0. There is no 4.0 available!
In the “Signal Path” during playback I see:
I guess this is an issue for all Four-Channel DACs. With other Applications channel 3 and 4 can be used with ASIO and ALSA.
PLEASE ADD 4.0 to the “Channel Layout” so channels 3 and 4 can be used within Roon.
I’ve requested the same previously. Would be great if it came to v1.8 next week or soon after.
Just to let you know, I found a solution

Good to see you found a solution to your problem.
Mine is a different problem - I need 4-channels for a 4-channel DSP crossover.
This is exactly what I did. Two woofers plus two fulrange speakers. The XO runs on the roon core, the Raspberry delivers the output to four channel Motu M4
Thanks I’ll have a closer look.
I still hope Roon can make it as simple as their other channel mapping currently supported
That would be best because my proposal requires a Pi and many people like to drive the soundcard directly from Windows.
Are you able to share an image of your sd card? This would be helpful for users not great with Linux.
Many thanks
I will offer it in the rooExtend platform when I am ready with it.
