Multi channel audio input

[Forts]

Has anyone come across a device (ideally USB) that would let you bring in multiple audio sources? In the past I've used the standard cheap USB audio dongles but they can be a pain in the butt. Install a Windows update and it likes to reassign them all. What I'm looking for is a single device that could accept maybe 4 channels of audio (but not mix them together). I guess on the Windows side they would all be seen as separate audio input devices. Then I could route these to virtual cables etc etc for use with Zello. I know I could go the SDR route as well, but then you need additional tuner software etc involved and I'm just trying to keep things simple here. Multiple channels of audio from multiple radios into Zello. I know I could go the ROIP route as well, but that would get pricey quickly.

Thanks!

"You could also use a Zoom H6n or H4n."

Good idea, I have one of those.
