Swapped Front and Rear

Chester01 · Jul 25, 2004, 08:07 PM

I have been reading on the Swapped Font and Rear thing, but I am a bit confused as to what is what reguarding the setting. On the help file it says that the front and rear are swapped by default. Does that mean that it is better to use the physical (on the card) output with the check in the swap front and rear speakers? (understand the concept of the rear speakers using superior codec, but am not sure if checking the option means i get best quality out of the front or rear speakers. Thanks!

Ive been getting alot of advice on this forum, so I should answer questions too.

To my understanding its like this:

Plug your front speakers or regular stereo speakers into physical jack labeled "rear". By default KX drivers are sending the "front audio signal" to the physical jack labeled "rear", because the codec is better they say . This will give better quality audio to for all you stereo output signals.

The physical jack labeled "front" is where any "rear audio signal" will appear. I use this jack for headphone monitoring when recording.

Just use a piece of tape and reverse the labels of the physical jacks front/rear jacks on the back of your sound card.

Thanx for the enlightenment! ;-)

Maybe someone would update the windows help file with this information?!
There's an issue with front<->rear swapping mentioned and the explanation is proposed too, but there is no further explanation.

And finaly, thanks for this great piece of software!
