LAUNCHING THE MONTEGO DDL CONTROL PANEL
After running the software installation procedure from the Montego DDL CD, the Turtle Beach palm tree
icon should appear in the Windows Systray at the bottom right of your PC screen. Clicking on this icon will
bring up a menu from where you can launch the Montego DDL Control Panel. You can also launch the
Montego DDL Control Panel by clicking Start All Programs Turtle Beach Montego DDL
Run Montego DDL Control Panel.
Before continuing with this section, make sure your speakers are plugged into the
Montego DDL outputs and are powered on. For details on how to connect the speakers,
see the Control Panel Speakers Tab section later in this manual.
CHECKING THE SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
After your speakers are connected and powered on, check if they‘re set up properly as follows:
1. Launch the Control Panel either by clicking the Turtle Beach palm tree icon in the bottom right
Start Menu or by selecting Start All Programs Turtle Beach Montego DDL Run
Montego DDL Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel Speakers Tab, click
on the Speaker Configuration pull-down
menu and select the type of speakers you‘re
using.
3. Click on each speaker icon to play a test
signal and make sure that the correct
speaker is playing the test sound. For
example, if you click the front left speaker
icon, you should hear the test signal say
―Front Left‖ in the front left speaker.
4. In Windows Vista/Windows 7, when
changing the Speaker Configuration, a User Account Control window will appear asking for
permission for the ―Turtle Beach Audio Configuration Tool‖ – this is an operating system security
feature that is new to Windows Vista/Windows 7. When Vista/Windows 7‘s User Account
Control is enabled, in order for the Montego DDL Control Panel to make the Speaker
Configuration change you desire, you have to click ‗Continue‘ on the User Account Control dialog
that appears. Since the Montego DDL Control Panel is scheduled to run automatically following
the installation of the driver, this prompt will be seen when the desktop is loading – ‗OK‘ must be
clicked to allow the Montego DDL Control Panel to set the default 5.1 speaker configuration.
NO SPEAKER SOUND
If you don‘t hear any sound, check the following:
Check that the speakers are turned on. Make sure you‘re not using passive speakers that require an
amplifier. The Montego DDL analog outputs can only drive powered
speakers, not passive speakers.
Check that the speakers are properly connected to the Montego DDL
analog outputs. See the Control Panel Speakers Tab section in this
manual for details.
If the speakers have an integrated volume control or mute button,
check that they are properly set.
