Testing 5.1/7.1 Surround Sound (Advanced Settings)
If you are using the Sound Blaster X-Fi 3 control panel ( Advanced Settings ) to test
your headphones/speakers, set up as a 5.1/7.1 surround sound system with the mi-
crophone jack enabled as the "Center/Subwoofer" (see
Figure 2 - 8 on page 2 - 10 )
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 3 control panel from the notification area of the
taskbar (or from the item in the Start screen).
3. Click Advanced Settings (see Figure 7 - 62 on page 7 - 76 ).
4. Select 5.1 Surround or 7.1 Surround under Speaker/Headphones Configuration.
5. Click to place a check in the BASS REDIRECTION check box.
6. Click to place a check in the SUBWOOFER GAIN check box.
7. Move the slider for CROSSOVER FREQUENCY to its maximum setting.
