Configure the audio output for the multi-channel speaker system by performing the
following procedure.

configuring the multi-channel sound manager

1 Click Start on the taskbar.
2 Choose All Programs.
3 Choose Music.
4 Click Multi-channel Sound Manager and then click Multi-channel

Sound Manager again. The Audio Configuration window opens.

NOTE:

If you do not see the Speaker Configuration tab, your PC does not have

the multi-channel capability. However, it still has two-channel (stereo) output.

5 Click the Speaker Configuration tab.
6 Select the option describing the number of speakers in your system, for

example, 6/5.1 speaker mode. You can click the Speaker Test tab and
then click a speaker icon to test it.

7 Click OK.

dvd player

The InterVideo WinDVD™ program (select models only) is set up for two-speaker
(stereo) output. To hear all speakers from DVD movies recorded with multi-channel
audio, change the audio properties for WinDVD to match your speaker
configuration (if your InterVideo WinDVD program supports more than two
channels):

1 Insert a DVD, or start InterVideo WinDVD Player (see “playing dvd movies with

the intervideo windvd player” on page 55).

2 Right-click anywhere in the WinDVD video window, and then click Setup.
3 Click the Audio tab.
