Turtle Beach 56K was earlier but I don't know if you
could do multiple cards.

what was the first commercial multichannel sound card
I don't know what the first was, but in 2000 I used an Echo Layla 24 to
put
together an 8-channel system with an old 100 MHz Pentium PC (Barely
enough CPU
power. I had to trim the OS to get it to work in real time). Before the
Layla24 there was a Layla20 (just called the Layla), introduced in 1997.
Before
that I used two CardDeluxes strapped together to get 4-channel I/O in a
PC.
Driver support wasn't great.
Thanks for the info, that’s really interesting stuff.
Found this interesting review of the CardDeluxe also:

I would be curious to know of even older high quality sound cards.
best,
Miguel
