Marty Masterjohn Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I recently updated my systems to watchout 5.1 and I am not able to play all 6 channels of audio. Previous to updating to watchout 5.1, I used a test file from Showsage on my system with Watchout 3.4.2 and I was able to get all 6 channel to play from the onboard audio card. I also tested the audio file with a an external USB sound card (Soundblaster X-FI) and that also worked with watchout 3.4.2. I installed Watchout 5.1 and now I only get 2 channel stereo. I did not change any hardware or drivers on the display systems. Wondering what needs fixing. Any suggestions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 You'll need a sound card with drivers that works with multi-channel, under Windows 7, with DirectX/Direct Sound. There is a major difference between WindowsXP and Windows 7 in this respect, and manufacturers has not kept up. http://dataton.com/forum/topic/114-watchout-5-and-successful-surroundmultichannel-audio-setup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
