Audio Channels (For Windows ® Vista/7 only)
This setting only appears in Windows ® Vista/7. Windows ® Vista/7 delivers the audio
channels to the audio driver according to this setting, no matter what the original
audio content is or how many channels they have. Hence, you need to set this in
accordance with your audio content before you play it. This setting is synchronized
with Windows ® Vista/7’s system speaker configuration and changing this setting
during playback stops the audio playback program. You may have to restart the
program after changing this setting.
