LabVIEW2011, Win7, Creative audigy 2 soundcard and/or USB sound device set to 7.1 sound
The sound2.llb ... info found the card but only allow to open 2 output channels giving error 4811 when trying to configure for more than 2 channel output.
However the OS audio test 'ping' every speaker 
Any hints welcome
I attached my test vi. you will need at least one wav sound file ... (or try to rescue the diagram values... )
It runs with one or two channels but fail on higher channel counts.
