Rear=Front issue in windows 7

Paulospider · Jul 30, 2010, 04:16 PM

Hi everybody!

I have a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 card and I am trying to do one thing that I suppose is simple, but I din´t find the clarification here. I just want to have the same sound at rear and front, since I have my computer speakers connected to Front and my microsystem (located in other room) conected to Rear. I want both playing songs at the same time!

I tried to use 4.1 and Surround copy at Kx and it didn´t work (like worked before, in Windows XP). Then I selected SPDIF/AC3 Output in windows audio configuration and the sound came from both rear and front (YES!!), but I am wondering: it is right to do this way or I am loosing (or gaining) quality with this config.?

I am using the last version of Kx Drives (5, 10, 00, 3550 - debug).

Thanks!

SPDIF/AC3 is the better sounding output in Win7
