SoundSystem SiXPack 5.1 +
3D Settings.
Under "3D Settings" you will find the options for 3D support using the SiXPack 5.1 +. Particularly
important is the speaker configuration, as only a proper speaker configuration will guarantie
that the correct 3D algorithms are used. In addition, there is the option of deactivating Direct-
Sound hardware acceleration. This is useful for some games which allocate any number of
hardware buffers without any prior check, which may sometimes cause the game to crash. You
can also prevent the use of "Sensaura and EAX", switch "MacroFX" on/off or put a simple "Ste-
reo Enhancement" on the output signal. If a 3D-sound application is running (DirectSound 3D,
EAX or A3D), you should ensure that the "3D Stereo Enhancement" has been deactivated. An-
other option offered here is the possibility to test all the speakers independently (Speaker Test)
by clicking on them in the shown menu (The activated speakers are represented differently than
the deactivated speakers by their color). By clicking again the test is stopped.
The next option that we would like to introduce you to is the positioning - "Source Positioning".
You can position one stereo source and up to 16 MIDI voices wherever you want in the room. A
cathedral orchestra can easily be realized in this way.
