Hello,

I have tried many configuration but i have never eared any sound from my speaker.

Sound Card : Audigy ES
Speaker : Altec Lansing VS4121 (2.1)
Music Listening : Metal, Hard Rock

Which simple configuration i must choose to have a good sound adapted to music i ear in DSP Kx Menu?

Thanks for your helping and sorry for my english, i'm a french user

Uncheck the "Toggle 'Swap Front and Rear' mode" option on the Main page of kxmixer.

I have a configuration which works (i hear sound) but i would optimize it to the music i listen and to my sound material. I precize my soundcard is a creative which have the 10k2 DSP.

My Configuration - Stereo Speakers & Headphones (Kx Project Preset Exchange System)

You are missing some audio with that config (no midi, and some D3D sounds would be missing). Additionally, your EQ, etc. are only applied to one source (kX Wave 0/1). If you want a similair setup to the one above, but better (probably), I would start with the default DSP, and put the EQ and Decimator at the end of the chain (right before epilog) so that it is applied to all audio sources, before going to your speakers (you may also want to keep the Surrounder plugin, and use the 2.0 Simple Mix preset, otherwise you will be missing some channels (D3D, games, etc).

Regarding the "Toggle 'Swap Front and Rear' mode" option, if your speakers are connected to the analog front jack on the rear of the sound card, then that option should be disabled (unchecked)... if your speakers are connected to the analog rear jack on the back of the sound card, then that option should be enabled (checked).

Hi,

I have tried to take your advice and to apply them to my configuration.

Is it good?

How can i optimize my config and have a sound which is perfectly adjusted between high middle and bass, and cleared?

Thanks

That is not really what I meant... (othen than where the EQ is (and I am not sure what the purpose of having the Stereo Mix plugin there is)). You have only FxBus (0/1) connected, thus you are still missing some audio (midi, D3D, etc.)). If you are going to use FxBus and xrouting anyway, then you may as well leave all the connections to it from FxBus (i.e. like the default DSP config). You can remove reverb/chorus and prolog, etc., if you do not want to use them, but you should leave the other connections (i.e. FxBus 2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9). Additionally, without Surrounder (or a simlair plugin), you will not get multi-channel sound (i.e. rear sounds (in games, etc) will not be sent to the front, and thus will be missing all together). Your setup is ok if you are using it soley for listening to stereo audio, and loading different configs for other purposes, but as a general purpose config it is not great (which is fine, it all depends on what you expect to be able to use this config for, but, again, if you are going to use FxBus and xrouting anyway, you may as well use the other pins and have a more useful config)).

I do not understand what you mean... I am guessing that you mean EQ settings, and that is not really something I can tell you. The settings to use, would depend on your speakers and your own personal preferences (and what type of music you listen to, etc.).

BTW: What are you trying to accomplish with this config? Your orginal post was about not having any sound at all, which was likely related to the Toggle 'Swap Front and Rear' mode setting. Beyond that, what did you not like about the default config? i.e. Why are you making a custom config (that as far as I can tell, is not much different from the default config, except that you are missing some things that you may want/need).

I wish to exploit simply drivers at most for a perfect stereo image of the sound adapted to my sound card.

I use Foobar2000 as audio player and Powerdvd as dvd player.

For the plugin, i already have the best quality plugin or i must download some?

Utilise le "default" DSP et choisit 2.1 dans le Surrounder. Joue avec le EQ pour obtenir le meilleur son. Tu as tous les plug-ins necessaires avec kX mais ne te complique pas la vie trop pour commencer.

In other words, stick with the default DSP, tweak the eq and dont make it too hard on yourself to begin with.
