Did you run a VST scan?

You have to map your controller to whatever you're controlling.

You wanna know why the mom & pop stores are struggling? That's it right there; not because big corporations are evil.

And like Jack said, be sure to get rid of all the bloatware. No doubt that laptop is packed with it, with about 7 million useless, BS, apps all running on startup.

Whatever

Why wouldn't the one master volume on the one interface that has multiple speaker outputs accomplish the task?

"I have win7 with update problem" means a problem with updating Win 7. At least according to the way English works. At any rate, not only does MS no longer support W7, neither does CbB.

There are no more updates for W7.

You should open MIDI files and not import them.

You asked for input. I gave it: save yourself the headaches and use a device that is designed for what you want to do. You want really what amounts to some version of surround sound. Well, the simple way to accomplish that is with a device that has multiple speaker outputs. People come on here and ask about doing stuff in some back- asswards, overly complicated way. That's fine. If you don't know, you don't know. That's why you ask questions. But what flabbergasts me is that when the practical guy like me who likes to do things the simple way comes around and says " that sounds like a lot of trouble, you could do this simple, easy thing instead and get the same results," they act like I've cast aspersions upon their ancestry.

You beat me to it. I got to thinking and realized well yeah some manufacturers have drivers that let you use identical interfaces together and the driver makes the computer see it all as one interface. So, as far as the computer knows it's only one interface. Trying to kludge Rube Goldberg workarounds together is just going to cause headaches. Why not just make it easy on yourself and get an interface that has enough speaker outputs to do what you want?

ASIO is capable of only running one device at a time.

Cultures have been "appropriating" one another ever since the first time two different tribes crossed paths.

Reminds me of people who complain about getting "only" a $1/ hr raise ...

Too late now, but these things are so much easier when they're taken care of in pre-production.

Short answer: No. Longer answer: that's not how it's done. First, quadraphonic is obsolete. Second if you want to do surround sound, how you do it is with an interface that has multiple outs.

Just in time for Windows 11!

Most have demo versions.

Windows 7 is not supported.

Yep. I wanted Miroslav Philharmonik & got Total Studio Deluxe (which includes it) for less than Miroslav would have been by itself!

I had that happen before when my Focusrite's driver wandered off into la-la land. A reboot fixed it.

Bad idea to post your email address in a publicly viewable forum.

You don't have it plugged into a USB hub, do you?

I try to listen with my ears instead of my eyes.
