Using 8-channel Audio (optional)
1. Introduction
8- channel audio is the highest sur round sound standard available adding two
speaker s over existing 6-channel (5.1) audio set-ups. 8-channel surround sound
is already a standard feature for premium consumer audio devices, so it only makes
sense that as users increasingly use their PCs to listen to the latest m ultimedia
content that 8-channel support makes the migration as a standard PC feature.
In the 8-channel surround sound configuration there are the standard front, center,
LFE (bass) speakers but also two surround speakers are placed at the sides of a
listener, and two speakers directly behind the listener. Some formats also support
a 6.1 audio configuration wherein there is only one speaker behind the listener.
However, since audio connections always come in stereo pairs most PC hardware
will autom atically support the 7.1 configuration. It is also fully suppor ted in the
Windows XP operating system.
2. Using 8-channel Audio
STEP 1. Connect the front channels to green jack, the rear channels to black jack,
the Center/Subwoofer channels to orange jack and Side channels to gr ey jack.
