Hello, people!
I was wondering if there's a way to use the Pi to play multiple audio files to different speakers at the same time.
Any I2C, SPI or even bluetooth solution should be fine. I tried googling for I2C/SPI audio but I only managed to find
audio processing components...
Thanks in advance!

also i2s , anyway
You did not say N* how many speakers/audio files .. !
!
With 2 speakers and one stereo channel you can use paning and send L/R channel of audio to each speaker.
That is generally the default for most setups AFAIK

Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, that's a good idea. What about more speakers? Say 4 or so...?

Re: Controlling multiple audio devices
More out channels!
with one or more
usb ---> D2A
OR
I2C,SPI,I2S ---> D2A
It might be posible to use somthing with 'Surround sound' support to get access to more out channels , but how idk .
Unlikely but even with hdmi something might be posible

Re: Controlling multiple audio devices
grilotc,
Did you ever figure this out? I am trying to do the same thing. I am trying to figure out how I can use an input to play an audio file to 1 speaker while another input can play a different audio file to another speaker. I need 4 different audio files to be able to play to 4 different speakers at 1 time. Using Python, I figured out how to get the different audio files to play depending on the input, but I haven't found a way to send them to different outputs yet. Any help is appreciated!

Have you guys been able to figure this out? I am in desperate need to do this for a multimedia installation. Thanks!
