Re: moving from 1st gen Audigy to X-Fi Audio Card - lost 4.1 I thought digital outputs only output PCM stereo, unless passing through a surround format that could be decoded by a decoder in your speaker system like Dolby Digital?
Separate analog connections for the various channels would probably work best for other types of surround (EAX, etc...) decoded by your sound card or surround that is created from 2-channel sound by the Creative card and software. Make sure your audio and sound card settings in Windows and the Creative software are correct for what you're trying to achieve.
Connecting two speakers to one set of terminals cuts the impedance in half and may damage the amplifier. |
