Guest Jabba The Hunt Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 I just brought the logitech SoundMan Sr-30 to use with XWA as that would be great fun, anyway I installed everything I needed and plugged it all in anyway the only think i dont know about is whether ive got a 4 channel sound card, now ive got 2 out ports on it (well they have the same symbol) but whatever I plug into the second one never works (rear or front), any help? ------------------ "Getting Drunk is great you should try it sometime" "I did once, I just cant remember if I enjoyed it or not" jabbathehunt@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR2000Z Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 Oh, I was going to make a thread of this. Does surround sound use wires or is it wire-free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 On the Soundblaster Cards there is a program called "Surround-Mixer" that lets you set up and test the surrounds. Your card has to be in 4-channel mode, you have to be running a program that has surround channel-information, and you have to have a set of speakers that can decode and output the sound. Here's the speaker set I have: http://www.alteclansing.com/webapp/commerce/command/ExecMacro/Altec/macros/main.d2w/report I don't know about that card, but I'm sure there must be a function to allow you to set it up. Try it with a DVD first, since they all have surround tracks. And yes; the surround speakers have wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 my Sound card, Diamond monster sound, has a set-up/test area that lets you adjust what kind of set-up you want, stereo/quad/ so on just like Edlib said. Go look in your soundcard set up program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 I really don't think the PCI cards are surround enabled, but go here and download the PDF file that is the manual for the card you own: http://www.soundblaster.com/manuals/ Good luck.

Guest Jabba The Hunt Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 I just checked on that site (thanx a lot) and all PCI sound cards were 4 speaker enabled. Altough the system is no-longer working so im taking it back on sat. ------------------ "Getting Drunk is great you should try it sometime" "I did once, I just cant remember if I enjoyed it or not" jabbathehunt@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
