5.7.7 Troubleshooting Q & A :
1. How can I get 5.1 channels audio?
• You must have a 5.1 speaker system.
• The audio source must be 5.1 channel soundtracks.
• Click Speaker Setup Wizard in the Speaker Setup tab of NVIDIA nForce
Control Panel to setup your 5.1 audio channel.
2. Why I can’t hear 5.1 channels audio when playing a CD or MP3 file?
Because the audio source is a two channel audio.
3. Is “S/PDIF” equal to “Dolby Digital”?
S/PDIF (Sony ® /Philips ® Digital Interface) is a digital audio transfer
standard. It defines the physical layer for the transmission media interface
and the data format. Audio or non-audio data can transmit by S/PDIF.
But only the audio data encoded in Dolby
® Digital format is Dolby ® Digital
5.1 audio developed in the Dolby ® Lab.
4. Can I get Dolby ® Digital audio from Analog out?
It depends on the audio source. If the audio source is stored in Dolby ®
Digital audio format, and you have a Dolby ® Digital Software decoder,
then Dolby ® Digital audio is possible from the Analog out source.
