4-1-3 2 / 4 / 5.1 / 7.1 Channel Audio Function Introduction
There are 5 kinds of output mode: Earphone Output Mode, 2 / 4 / 5.1 / 7.1 Channel Output Mode.
Earphone Output Mode -- Only earphone output is configured on the system.
2 Channel Output Mode -- Front speakers are configured on the system.
4 Channel Output Mode -- Front speakers and surround speakers are configured on the system.
5.1 Channel Output Mode -- Front speakers, surround speakers and center/subwoofer speakers are
configured on the system.
7.1 Channel Output Mode -- Front speakers, surround speakers, center/subwoofer speakers and
back surround speakers are configured on the system.
The output mode is decided by the sequence with high priority in the front: back surround speakers, center/
subwoofer speakers, surround speakers, front speakers and earphone. (e.g. if back surround speakers are
configured, then the system will be in 7.1 channel output mode no matter what other output devices are
configured.)
If the icon can not be found, go to the control panel
from the system menu and double click the C-Media
CPL icon. Open "CMI Audio Config" and then go to
"Information" tab. Make sure "Show the audio
configuration icon in the system tray" is checked.
After installation of the audio driver, you'll find an
icon in the system area. Double click the icon to se-
lect the function.
