Hello guys,

I want 5.1 surround but at the moment works stereo sound only even if in configuration switch between 2.1 and 5.1. When I press "test" in kx mixer appears window that says: "error with playing sound". How can I turn on 5.1 sound? Please help me!

The speaker test does not currently work in Windows Vista/7 (uses DirectSound3D which was removed in Vista/7).

If you want the ability to upmix stereo to 5.1, then try setting the default device for Windows to SPDIF/AC3 (there is a bug with the routing of stereo audio with Master Mixer).
