5.1 surround on Win7 with ASUS Xonar DSX
I've read forums and threads here and there, but so far I don't find a solution or an answer. I can or I can't get 5.1 sound for Mass Effect iwth a ASUS Xonar DSX soundcard. I really done everything,...
I finally managed to get an almost perfect sound for ME1. The issue lies beneath the config.exe. If you nor I checked the Sound tab it's said Speaker_Unknown or similar, if I use the default 5.1 speaker setting in Windows Control Panel -since I have a 5.1 system. So, I've tried just for fun ,what if I choose Quadrophonice or 7.1. Both worked and recognized via config.exe! But since ME1 use EAX I need to turn on the GX function, that's simple button activates DirectSound/OpenAL support under Vista/7. I should say it's emulates the SoundBlaster cards EAX support.
So what I did:
- choose 7.1 speakers in Windows Control Panel
- set 8 channels mixing with my ASUS soundcard control panel
- turn on GX function
