CM SS 3D: Simulating Surround Sound
Creative MultiSpeaker Surround (CMSS) 3D makes ordinary two-channel (Left
and Right Stereo) sound seem to surround you, even through only two speakers. For
users with 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 multichannel speaker systems, CMSS can also simulate
surround sound from ordinary stereo. This is useful for watching DVDs and VCDs,
which contain only stereo soundtracks, or listening to CDs with two-channel audio.
To enable the CMSS 3D configuration mean by check the
Enable CM SS 3D
item.
Then you can select CMSS for multichannel audio enhancement on 4/4.1, 5.1, 6.1 or
7.1 speaker systems, and CMSS 2 for movies.
MSI Reminds You...
For a 4/4.1-speaker system, audio for your subwoofer is processed
by the speaker system.
Audio Clean-up: Removing noise and distortion
First, you have to check the
Enabled Audio Clean-up
item to enable its
configuration mean. Audio Clean-up allows you to process prerecorded as well as
real-time audio, in order to remove noise, click sounds and other artifacts. For example,
when recording music from old vinyl records, "click" and "pop" sounds can be removed
with the Clean-up feature. The Click Meter informs you whenever the noise clean-up
feature is activated during recording and also how many clicks are removed.
