SonicFury Installation Guide
Introduction
Whether you want to create music, listen to MP3s, play games or enjoy home theatre surround
sound, SonicFury is the revolutionary new high-performance six-channel DSP-based sound card
that brings a new level of processing power and audio fidelity to your PC.
SonicFury's advanced DSP-based design provides full hardware acceleration for MP3 playback,
96 stream DirectSound acceleration and 64 hardware voices (1024 voices available in software)
for ultimate audio performance whatever your application. Engineered for the future, SonicFury's
powerful DSP (Digital Signal Processor) accelerator not only allows upgrades via software but
will prioritise its processing power depending on the task your PC is performing, optimizing
system performance by offloading MP3 playback and other audio tasks from your main
processor.
SonicFury can drive two, four or six (5.1) speakers for a sensational Dolby Digital home theatre
experience and comes with Sensaura 3D positional sound, for amazing in-game 3D sound
effects from 2 or 4 speakers or headphones. Its powerful DLS-compliant MIDI engine has a
professional quality 8MB sample set, unlimited voices and a wide range of effects.
The SonicFury CD bundle includes the driver software, the SonicFury control panel, and plenty of
games and demos to show off SonicFury’s 3D sound, including; full versions of Future Beat 3D
for 3D music creation; MusicMatch Jukebox MP3 encoder, player and database; Making Waves
