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 blue jack.
