    Hi,

    For a special setup I would like to play sound to 8 channels, plus possibly a subwoofer.
    The 8 speakers will be placed inside all corners of a cube surrounding the listener.
    So we have:
    left-front-upper
    right-front-upper
    left-front-lower
    right-front-lower
    left-back-upper
    right-back-upper
    left-back-lower
    right-back-lower

    Can I somehow control this with Unity?

    Can I for instance setup a (mono) listener for each speaker.
    Or can I place two 3D listeners (one upper and one lower listener), each for 4 speakers, to make this work?
    Can I route different listeners to different sound card channels?

    I hope someone can advise me on this.
