I wish to build a home media server, which i am already half way through creating an application to stream media to different outputs. For the setup of the PC, i need 5 outputs in total (possibly one spare for future).
Will each sound card have to be a different make/model? Or can they be identical, i would prefer consistency over the sound.
Thanks in advance
Answer
This is not a problem. Your OS can tell the cards apart by the physical slot they’re in.
With videocards, this is commonly done.
