Testing 5.1 Surround Sound (Advanced Settings)
If you are using the Sound Blaster X-Fi MB5 control panel ( Advanced Settings )
to test your headphones/speakers, set up as a 5.1 surround sound system with the mi-
crophone jack enabled as the "Center/Subwoofer" (see
Figure 2 - 3 on page 2 - 5 )
in the Realtek HD Audio Manager , you may not hear the low Subwoofer test tone
as some headphones/speakers do not support low frequencies.
If your headphones/speakers do not support low frequencies then follow the instruc-
tions below to obtain an effective sound test.
1. Attach your headphones/speakers to the headphone out jack.
2. Run the Sound Blaster X-Fi MB5 control panel from the notification area of the
