Appendix F: Surround Sound
5.1 Surround Sound Example
SuperChannel can also be used to play surround sound Dolby Digital, Windows
Media Audio, and DTS encoded data in 5.1 surround sound. Just follow the same
steps as above with the following exception: you should create a 6 channel audio
device instead of 8, and you should select “5.1 surround sound speakers” instead of
7.1. You can use the same directions above for playback with Windows Media
player, but you can also use other DVD player software as well.
For this example we will use Intervideo’s WinDVD. After you’ve followed the
directions above:
•
Open WinDVD.
•
Select “Properties…” by right clicking in the WinDVD playback window or
by clicking on the “wrench” button in the WinDVD player.
•
Select the Audio tab.
•
Select “6 speaker mode (5.1 channel)”.
•
Click OK.
•
You may need to close WinDVD and open it again for the “6 speaker mode”
option to be available.
•
Verify playback by listening to the speakers or by looking at the output
meters in the Echo console.
Other surround sound applications such as PowerDVD will work similarly.
If your speakers are connected correctly, you can now enjoy 5.1 surround sound
playback with your Layla3G or Gina3G.
