Someone really should write a FAQ about this :) It /might/ be possible (by linking the SPDIF ports and setting some flags or something) but its really not worth it, and would probably be unrelaible. If you only have 1 live card dont buy the other, spend the money on a real 8 output card, which you can buy for less than the price of two lives. It could also be done using a software solution, though no-ones written the software, but one card would have a lot higher latency. Again, not worth it. - Steve
