I got it!
I finally figured it out!
The channel order is really weird with the 8 ch. USBGEAR.COM sound device.
wave track 1 --> white --> L front --> X
wave track 2 --> gray --> R front --> Y
wave track 3 --> blue --> center --> r
wave track 4 --> violet --> bass --> g
wave track 5 --> green --> L rear surround --> b
wave track 6 --> yellow --> R rear surround --> i
wave track 7 --> red --> L side surround --> L_audio
wave track 8 --> orange --> R side surround --> R_audio
Here's the tricky part...
The driver for this thing is not so good. When you play a wave, after it stops, it might leave some of the colors on. I have never seen this with any other sound card driver! If you have the Windows driver panel for this device open, you can switch between 6 and 8 channel mode (and back as necessary). This zeros out the non-stereo tracks. I guess this thing was made for audio and it has.... had decoupling caps... but GEEEEEEZ!
The output positions of b & i seem to be the reverse of what I would have expected.
Also worth noting
Also worth nothing is only one h away!
If you play a 6 channel wave, the information that comes from the rear surround channels also appears on the side surround channels!
THESE ARE THE AUDIO CHANNELS !!!
If you are using this device as a six channel laser signal + 2 channel audio DAC and you have stereo audio coming from what would be channels 7 and 8 in a wave you need to be aware if this !!!
More information to come as it is discovered.
Expect some minor corrections.
I added a feature to LaserBoy so you can convert 6 channel LaserBoy waves into 8 channel waves by putting silence in the audio tracks. That works fine.
