The problem with 5.1 audio configuration #913

I can’t figure out if this is a local bug or a functionality limitation. It is not possible to use WASAPI input from speakers (Realtek) if 5.1 mode is used. An error is displayed For the Stereo speaker configuration is selected for the same interface, everything works fine.

In future releases, could you please add an audio signal handler for non-stereo configurations

Audio library used by ledfx , aubio does not support 5.1 audio. Only stereo.

Use mixer stages such as voicemeeter to downmix the 5.1 to stereo and use voicemeeter as the input to ledfx.

Use mixer

Ok, ASIO Link Pro helped resolve this issue.
