Surround sound possibility?

[Michiel Spape]

Hiya,
I wrote this message, but it bounced back for no apparent reason:
Hi,
Are you using E-Prime 2? As far as I know, E-Prime (certainly 1) does not support multi-channel WAV files. Possibly, you could fiddle around with multiple stereo .wav files being played on different audio devices, but I do not even know whether E-Prime supports multiple audio devices, and perhaps you're not immediately willing to get the hardware required. There are, of course, an infinite possible ways around this problem, such as using two computers (letting them communicate over LAN or serial cable within E-Prime), trying to play multi-channel encoded films in E-Prime 2 (I have no idea whether that is possible, though) &c, but I think it will probably be easiest to switch to something more multimedia-oriented... I've successfully ran studies that don't require brilliant timing in Flash, for instance.
Cheers,
Mich

Hello,

I am currently working on an experimental design that requires sounds being played independently from one of four speakers at a time.  I have configured my computer with the four speakers, and created four .wav files, each playing out of a different speaker.  However, since these are not stereo files, they require 6 channels.

As far as I know, E-Prime only supports sound files requiring up to 2 channels.  Is there any way around this problem?  Is there any way E- Prime can use 6 channel .wav files?  Are there other programs I should be looking into?

Thanks all,
Emily
