Hello,

I’m searching for a library to play my audio on a computer which can have up to 64 speakers (so 64 outputs). I tried FMOD but whenever I call  
system-\>setSoftwareFormat(48000, FMOD\_SPEAKERMODE::FMOD\_SPEAKERMODE\_RAW, 64),  
I get the result FMOD\_ERR\_TOOMANYCHANNELS.

After further investigations, I found that the FMOD\_MAX\_CHANNEL\_WIDTH is equal to 32 (so we cannot have more than 32 outputs channels).

Is it possible to remove or increase this limitation?

Thanks.

Currently it is not possible to remove or increase the limit.

I will add a task to look into this further, but if it is a blocker for you then I would recommend contacting [sales@fmod.com](mailto:sales@fmod.com).
