So I've been having trouble using the extra channels provided by the sound expansions in famitracker, I downloaded famitracker.NSF.Driver-v2.8 so I could enable these expansions and at first it worked; I was able to use the extra channels.
But the next time I opened famitracker it hasn't been working, I've tried deleting and redownloading the content, searched the help topics page in famitracker, checked the wiki, and searched anywhere else for answers about how to get it working.
What is it that's preventing me from using it or is there something more I have to do?

CTRL+P to open module properties, then select the expansion chip you want to use. It is proper behavior to revert to stock NES chip only when opening a new project.

You don't need to download the NSF driver unless you want to program an NSF or NES ROM by hand. Otherwise everything you need is in the regular Famitracker program.

you need to create instruments for VRC6, the 2A03 instruments will not work for it

select one of the VRC6 channels then click on the new instrument button

You need to create an instrument while selecting an expansion sound channel. 2A03 instruments created while selecting 2A03 channels will not work in expansion channels.

Hopefully this is the issue you were having.

EDIT: Rainwarrior beat me to it.

VRC6 is real fun, try making instruments that vary pulse width every frame at the start of the note, like 0 1 2 3 4 3 or 0 7 6 or 5 4 3 2 1 0
