Hi all,

Looking for some assistance.

I have a Dolby 5.1 file on my computer (Mac or PC).
I also have six network IP audio speakers, each with a unique assigned IP address.
Both my computer and the six IP speakers are connected to our network switch.

I would like to know what is the best way to transmit/stream individual audio channels to the different network speakers (while ensuring lowest latency), for example:

IP Speaker 1 < Receives Left audio channel from computer
IP Speaker 2 < Receives Right audio channel from computer
IP Speaker 3 < Receives Centre audio channel from computer
IP Speaker 4 < Receives Sub audio channel from computer
IP Speaker 5 < Receives Left Surround audio channel from computer
IP Speaker 6 < Receives Right Surround audio channel from computer

These are the specs for the network IP speaker:

Audio Encoding
AAC LC 8/16/32/48 kHz, G.711 PCM 8 kHz, G.726 ADPCM 8 kHz,
Axis µ-law 16 kHz, WAV,
MP3 in mono/stereo from 64 kbps to 320 kbps.
Constant and variable bit rate.
Sampling rate from 8 kHz up to 48 kHz.
Opus

Network Protocols
IPv4/v6b, HTTP, HTTPSc, SSL/TLSd, QoS Layer 3 DiffServ, FTP, SFTP, CIFS/SMB, SMTP, Bonjour, UPnPTM, SNMP v1/v2c/v3 (MIB-II), DNS, DynDNS, NTP, RTSP, RTP, TCP, UDP, IGMPv1/v2/v3, RTCP, ICMP, DHCP, ARP, SOCKS, SSH, NTCIP, SIP

Thank you in advance for your help.

This question is maybe out of our scope.

we can help only if
- or your speakers are connected to your computer (with an audio interface).
- or your speakers are connected to a VBAN receptor device.
- or your speakers are connected to a something that can be handled as audio interface by your PC.
