Since I got my new sound card (company didnt have the one I ordered in stock so I got sent this) I had a wierd problem with my 5.1 speakers, the problem been that I could not get the rear speakers to work at all, I figured "It may just be the speakers, getting a new headset soon, ill see what happens"
So a few days later, I got my headset (Razer Barracuda ac-1 5.1) and the same problem occured, so I fidled for a while and found at that within the 5.1 setting (in the xonar drivers) the rear speakers where known as "rear suround" while in the 7.1 I had "Rear suround" and "rear back (which worked)".
So now for 5.1 I have to set my sound card up for 7.1s settings and I feel this may be causing me to lack some positioning which I could get in game for where people are as it thinks I have 2 extra speakers within my headset, would I be right in thinking this?
Next question:
Within my drivers I have a headphone option which enables dolby headphone, now I know this is ment for emulating suround sound, which I dont exacly need now, but I realy prefer the sound I get out of my headphones...when using the...HEADPHONES setting instead of 5.1/7.1.
(which ofc makes sense)
But like this I wont get usage of all the speakers within the headset if im right? so is there anyway to have all speakers working but have the sound from the headphones setting?
Cheers, Jim.
Edit: Also, is it dodgey that I can only hear the subwoofer when I have rear speakers turned up? Id assume not since the amplifiyer/volume control has front/rear/centre/bass but bass+centre only work in conjuction with front/rear been turned up but im pritty sure its working, I mean after playing around with the bass setting in wmp I can feel the vibration and hear alot lower, so im assuming its "there" once there all on.
Also, is there anyway I can boost the bass nicely? because these headphones are slightly known for having a lack of bass without the hp-1 sound card pair (the ones wich werent in stock)
