Configuring Multi-streaming Audio

The Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager software allows you to listen to two different audio sources on two different speaker sets.

For example, you hear one audio source through a rear-panel speaker connection and a second source through a front-panel headphone or speaker connection. You must configure Multi-streaming Audio for your system if you want to hear two audio sources on separate speakers.

Audio output overview

The front-panel audio output is the stereo headphone (green) connector only.

The rear-panel outputs are the speaker connectors that can be set up as multi- channel out from stereo (2.1) to 7.1 (select models only) configurations. Refer to your user documentation for powered speakers or AV receiver setup information.
