[Sursound] Jack, binaural and surround sound

[Bearcat M. Şándor]

Since I listen through the headphone jack on my 7 channel sound card I have
Jack and also configured for 2 channels. When I'm listening to surround
material via a binaural [like] processing should I have also set for 7
channels?

In other words, is the number of channels only relevant to the physical
speaker outputs on my card, or does that effect the number of channels in
the softwares processing to binaural?

Thank you

The software playing the Soundfile needs to be able to play and process
more than 2 channels, at a minimum four.

The soundcard only need 2 channels for the resulting binaural sound.

Best regards
