Hi! I’m trying to play different WAV files to different sound cards. I’m going to have 6 sound cards connected (Over a Dante audio network). I see that with a “Sound” object you can select the output device (Ex: Sound zone1 = new Sound(this); zone1.outputDevice(8)😉 but this feature does not seem to be able to be applied to an object of type “SoundFile”, which is what I need to play the WAV files. Is there any way to map specific WAV files to various sound cards? I would greatly appreciate any help, thank you! Here is the Sound class documentation ([https://processing.org/reference/libraries/sound/Sound.html](https://processing.org/reference/libraries/sound/Sound.html)) and here is the SoundFile Class Documentation ([https://processing.org/reference/libraries/sound/SoundFile.html](https://processing.org/reference/libraries/sound/SoundFile.html))
