Setting up multistreaming audio

Example 1: Online gaming

To configure multistreaming audio output for online gaming with Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager, you must enable Voice-over IP (VOIP) software (software used to converse over the Internet). Other players hear your voice from the microphone via the Internet and you hear the game audio from the rear speakers:

1Connect the audio input and output connectors to:

•A headphone set to the front Headphone Out (green) connector.

•A microphone to the front Mic In (pink) connector for online conversation.

•A set of powered stereo, 5.1, or 7.1 speakers to the rear Speaker Out connectors for gaming sound output.

2Click the Realtek HD Audio Manager icon on the system tray to open the Realtek HD Audio Sound Effect Manager window.

3Choose the Mixer tab.

4Click the Multi-streaming setting audio button. The dialog box opens.

5Select the Enable multi-streaming playback check box.

6Select one of the following options to determine how you would like to hear your own voice:

•Check the Output Mic In/Line In to front panel check box, and select OK.

•Check the Output Mic In/Line In to rear panel check box, and select OK.

7Select Realtek HD Audio rear output from the drop-down list.

8Start the game that you are about to play. You should hear the gaming sound on the rear stereo, 5.1, or 7.1 speakers.

9At the Mixer tab, select Realtek HD Audio front output to enable audio conversation with your teammates.

NOTE: To ensure you have sound output, go to the Mixer window, and check that the setting of the front pink microphone is not muted.
