Re: [sc-users] startup file (output channels > 8)

[damien lock <damien.lock@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey there people
for those following this thread, if i set the server to internal, i can write to all available channels on my soundcard. If it's set to local host, i only get the first 8.
if this normal?
(see below for my startup options and server.local.options dump.
