ASUS Xonar D2 Audio Card
RMAA6.0.5 Test Guide V.1.1
The Xonar D2 driver CD includes RightMark Audio Analyzer (RMAA) v.5.6, popular software
intended for testing the quality of audio equipment, be it a sound card, portable MP3 player,
consumer CD/DVD player, or a speaker system. However, the latest RightMark Audio
Analyzer v6.0.5 is available now. This document describes the test guideline with RMAA
v6.0.5 and the complete test results by updated Xonar D2 driver package (8.17.20 or later),
which improves RMAA MME test quality inherently limited by Windows to faithfully present
Xonar D2’s hardware quality. The measurements are conducted by playing and recording
test signals, and using frequency analysis algorithms. The following provides a step-by-step
loop-back test guide for your Xonar D2 audio card.
1. Setting Up Xonar D2 Audio Card
Open the Xonar D2 Audio Center. Use the settings below:
1. Select the sample rate you will be using with RMAA test (here we set 48KHz for testing
48KHz/24bit signals).
2. Set analog output to 2-speaker mode (to get rid of any channel processing over RMAA
stereo signals in the driver)
3. Turn off all sound effects including Dolby, DTS, 7.1 speaker shifter, EQ, Environment, etc.
A quick way to do so is to enable the “Hi-Fi mode” button in the Audio Center.
