Intel Audio Studio

The latest releases of Intel Audio Studio include both a standard
Windows interface as well as a “ten foot” interface that can be accessed
directly from Windows Media Center using a remote control. All of the
controls and settings described in this chapter are available using either
interface.
Intel Audio Studio is located in “More Programs” within Windows Media
Center. If Intel Audio Studio does not show up under “More Programs”,
then the user should download the latest version from the Intel website.
The screenshot shows the main page of the Intel Audio Studio (Windows
XP interface) with callouts for some of the important functions:

1. Sound Processing On/Off

Use this button to turn on and off Intel Audio Studio sound processing.
When the sound processing is off, stereo music or standard definition
(SD) TV television will only play through the front left and right speakers
and the other speakers (including the subwoofer) will not be used.
Dolby Digital audio from a DVD or high definition (HD) television will use
six speakers (front speakers/center speaker/rear surround speakers/
subwoofer).
When the Sound Processing button is on, all eight speakers will be used
for any audio. Music and SD television audio will be expanded to use all
eight speakers using either Sonic Focus or Dolby ProLogic IIx processing
(button 3). Dolby Digital audio from a DVD or HD television will be
expanded to use all eight speakers only if ProLogic IIx is selected (Sonic
Focus processing does not expand Dolby Digital audio content to use all
eight speakers).
