Settings will be retained even when a different Analog Output is selected.

2Drag speaker or listener

You can drag each speaker or listener to a different position “virtually” using only your mouse. The Xonar Xense card will process the sound and reposition the virtual speakers real-time. The Subwoofer has no directional sounds, and hence can be moved only closer to or further away from the listener.
