KX and 7.1

Kazenom · Mar 4, 2006, 04:06 PM

Hi,

first, sorry for my bad Enlish (German)....

My problem:
I use a Audigy2 zs with a Teufel CEM 5.1 and i will connect the last 2 cannels analog to a reciver!
But nothing going, 7.1 is enable.
Can someone help me?

1) you need 2 special 4 pole connectors to acces the additional 2 outputs out of analog out jacks. Called 'Side' outputs.

2) that additional output is acceessed via Epilog - 'I2S-2' pins. So if you want to customize your DSP...

3) Does KX speaker test work properly?

Hi,

how can i customize my DSP to 7.1 ???

Russ · Mar 4, 2006, 06:43 PM

Set Surrounder+ to a 7.1 Preset, and in the DSP window, connect the sCenter1 and sCenter2 pins (out of Surrounder+) to epilog's I2S-2 pins as Maddogg6 stated.

Hold the mouse cursor over the pins, and a tooltip will pop up with the name of the pin.

Kazenom · Mar 4, 2006, 07:00 PM

Hi,

thanks for your help!
Because I dont understand what you are meaning.
And yes i am a NOOB.
Can you tell me step by step ???

Kazenom · Mar 4, 2006, 07:06 PM

Hi,

And wtf ist Maddogg6 ???

Russ · Mar 4, 2006, 07:24 PM

Do you see "Surrounder+" in the DSP window? (note the "+" after the name).
The sCenter1 and 2 connections should be the bottom 2 pins on the right side of the Surrounder+ plugin. Again, if you hold the mouse button over the pins, a tooltip will show the name of the pins.
Click and drag a line from those pins, to the correct pins on "epilog" (I do not know which pins they are, as I do not have the same card, but you should be able to figure it out from the tooltips).

Kazenom · Mar 4, 2006, 07:31 PM

OK,
but i have no free pins by the "epilog"
I have a Audigy2 zs
And thank you very mutch for your help!

Russ · Mar 4, 2006, 07:38 PM

Ok, I think it might be Out30 and Out31 on epilog (but I cannot be sure), which is the 13th and 14th pins from the top. Is there something allready connected to those pins? If so, trace the lines to see what is connected to it.

Kazenom · Mar 4, 2006, 07:43 PM

So far so good
sCenter1 and sCenter2 are connected with the epilog and right it is Out30 and Out31.
And now?

Russ · Mar 4, 2006, 07:46 PM

Double-click on Surrounder+, and set it to a 7.1 preset (at the bottom of the Window, there is dropdown box (probably says "<custom>"), click on it and choose one of the 7.1 presets, and then use the kX Speaker Test applet to test the speakers.

BTW: Make sure Windows is set to 7.1 as well (in Sounds and Audio Devices in the Control Panel).

Kazenom · Mar 4, 2006, 07:51 PM

OK,

test is going but no music is coming out

Russ · Mar 4, 2006, 07:56 PM

You get no sound at all? or just no sound from the Side speakers?
Did you hear all the speakers in the speaker test?
Are you using analog speakers, digital speakers, or a receiver?

Kazenom · Mar 4, 2006, 08:05 PM

Yes soundtest go with all speakers.
Music going on 5.1 Teufel CEM and the rest 2 cannels (7.1) on a analog reciver.
But nothing (Music) on the last 2 cannels.

Russ · Mar 4, 2006, 08:14 PM

Ok, so all your speakers are working.
When you are playing music, you are getting no sound, or just no sound on the side channels?
I am not sure what method is used to upmix stereo music to 7.1. Make sure that Surround is ON in "Surrounder+" and play around with the settings in there to see if you can get them working. It is possible that 7.1 is not fully implemented as of yet (and thus that 7.1 upmixing may not be implemented as of yet), so you may have to do the upmixing yourself (i.e. using other plugins), I am not sure. Hopefully someone else that has a 7.1 model, and uses all the channels, will respond, as they would know more about it then me (my card is only 5.1).

Kazenom · Mar 4, 2006, 08:20 PM

OK,

thank you very mutch for your help!!!
I post on many German Forums but no one has help me!
I will be looking for 7.1 upmixing an hoe can i implemented.
And again, thank you!

Russ · Mar 4, 2006, 08:24 PM

Your welcome.
It may take a little while, but I am sure someone else will be able to give you the info that I am not sure about (maybe Maddogg6 when he is back online).
