Setup for 5.1 or 7.1 Surround Sound
To setup your system for 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound you will need to connect the au-
dio cables to the Headphone & S/PDIF Combo jack, Line-In jack, Line-Out jack and
Microphone-In jack (note: the Line-Out jack is used for 7.1 surround sound only).
1. Run Realtek Audio Console from the Windows Start menu.
2. Click Device advanced settings.
3. Plug the front speaker cables into the Headphone-Out Jack.
4. Plug in the other cables (you may require an adapter to connect each cable to the
appropriate jack e.g a stereo mini to dual RCA adapter) from your speakers as
follows:
• Line-In Jack = Rear Speaker Out
• 2-In-1 Audio Jack (Headphone & S/PDIF Combo) = Front Speaker Out
• Microphone-In Jack = Center/Subwoofer Speaker Out
• Line-Out Jack = Side Speaker Out (and for 7.1 Surround Sound Only)
5. As you plug in each cable a dialog “Which device did you plug in?” box will pop up.
6. Select the appropriate device from the drop-down menu according to the speaker
plugged-in (e.g. Rear Speaker Out), and then click OK to save the setting.
7. The device selected will be indicated in the Back Panel menu under Connector
Retasking (Analog).
