Using 8-channel Audio (optional)

1. Introduction

8-channel audio is the highest surround sound standard available adding two

speakers over existing 6-channel audio set-ups. 8-channel surround sound is

already a standard feature for premium consumer audio devices, so it only makes

sense that as users increasingly use their PCs to listen to the latest multimedia

content that 8-channel support makes the migration as a standard PC feature.

In the 8-channel surround sound configuration there are the standard front, center,

LFE (bass) speakers but also two surround speakers are placed at the sides of a

listener, and two speakers directly behind the listener. Some formats also support

a 8-channel audio configuration wherein there is only one speaker behind the

listener. However, since audio connections always come in stereo pairs most PC

hardware will automatically support the 8-channel configuration. It is also fully sup-

ported in the Windows XP operating system.

2. Using 8-channel Audio

STEP 1. Connect the front channels to green jack, the rear channels to black jack,

the Center/Subwoofer channels to orange jack and Side channels to grey jack.
