Select the speaker type that you connected. If your speaker

option

type cannot perform low-frequency signals (bass), please

 

select “Small” speaker type and Xonar DX will filter out the

 

bass signals and send them to the subwoofer channel. If

 

those speakers are full-range, you can select the “Large”

 

speaker type.

 

Note: Common, cheap PC’s 2-channel speakers are

 

usually small-type speakers. Please refer to the speaker’s

 

specification. If you have any questions, please consult

 

your speaker vendor. However, common 2.1 speakers with

 

a subwoofer should be categorized as Large speakers

 

because the subwoofer can redirect the bass signals inside

 

the two channels to the subwoofer speaker automatically.
