Request change in handling of multi-channel
tbng:
I have always used WASAPI, and the setting "open device for exclusive mode" has always been checked in my setup. It is not the issue.

Here is the normal order in a file for a 7.1 file
1 Front Left - FL
2 Front Right - FR
3 Front Center - FC
4 Low Frequency - LF
5 Surround Left - SL
6 Surround Right - SR
7 Back Left - BL
8 Back Right - BR
Note that the terms Surround (or Side) and Back sometimes get interchanged. But the 5/6 positions are for the speakers in a typically 5.1 setup and the 7/8 positions are for the additional speakers in a 7.1 setup, which are typically behind the listener.

Although not very common the Sony SDDS format used the inner front speakers in its file format, which is what I was thinking of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Dynamic_Digital_Sound

According to the Wikipedia article, there was never a home-theater version of SDDS. It was a commercial only product.

OK here is another example then 4.0.
Is that LF, RF, LS, RS or is it L, C, R, S?

So if you manually select 2.0 in DSP Studio your processor receives a 2 channel input, and if you select 5.1 it receives a 5.1 input, but when you select "source number of channels" it always receives a 5.1 signal?

That's 4.0 and 3.1.
I don't think I've ever seen a 3.1 source in a 4 channel container; always inside a 5.1 signal (6 channels) with empty rear channels.
I have a couple of 3.0 Blu-rays which are stored in a 3 channel DTS-HD container, but no 4 channel discs.
