[ubuntu-studio-users] Jack shows 22 outputs but only 8 produce a sound output

[Sebastian Roth]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this list and also new to Linux.
I am a PhD student working on a research project with hearing impaired people.

For
  our research studies we want to realize different audiological tests  
with a virtual acoustic sound system. The program we use for rendering  
the virtual acoustics runs in Linux. 
In our lab, we have a Fireface 
 802 sound card from RME. But RME doesn't offer support in Linux and  
unfortunately doesn't provide drivers. 


I  
run the Fireface in ClassCompliant mode and it is connected via USB to  
the computer with Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS as operating system. Basically
  the Fireface works, I can use 8 output channels for my sound playback 
 via Jack.
But the problem is that I actually want to get playback  
from 12 loudspeakers in our loudspeaker circuit. When I start Jack, it  
displays 22 output channels, but as I said, only 8 playback channels are
  playing sound.

Could this be caused by the snd_usb_audio driver? Or how can I assign the output channels directly?

About any suggestion for a solution I would be very happy!!!


Best regards,

Sebastian Roth
