Configure the audio output for the multi-channel speaker system by performing the following procedure.

configuring the multi-channel sound manager

1Click Start on the taskbar.

2Choose All Programs.

3Choose Music.

4Click Multi-channel Sound Manager and then click Multi-channel Sound Manager again. The Audio Configuration window opens.

NOTE: If you do not see the Speaker Configuration tab, your PC does not have the multi-channel capability. However, it still has two-channel (stereo) output.

5Click the Speaker Configuration tab.

6Select the option describing the number of speakers in your system, for example, 6/5.1 speaker mode. You can click the Speaker Test tab and then click a speaker icon to test it.

7Click OK.

configuring multi-channel audio output for the dvd player

The InterVideo WinDVD™ program (select models only) is set up for two-speaker (stereo) output. To hear all speakers from DVD movies recorded with multi-channel audio, change the audio properties for WinDVD to match your speaker configuration (if your InterVideo WinDVD program supports more than two channels):

1Insert a DVD, or start InterVideo WinDVD Player (see “playing dvd movies with the intervideo windvd player” on page 55).

2Right-click anywhere in the WinDVD video window, and then click Setup.

3Click the Audio tab.
