14111 Uses optimized filters for playing 3D sounds and provides support for games that use the EAX 2.0 and I3DL2 application-programming interfaces (APIs). These APIs allow your audio hardware to accurately reproduce 3D sounds with reverb, occlusion, and obstruction effects. This option also provides emulation of the A3D 1.0 API. You must restart your computer for a change in this setting to take effect.\n\nNote: This option turns on hardware acceleration for stereo sounds.
14112 Start Sensaura's Virtual Ear application.
14121 Lets your audio hardware mix wave files that include information about the position of sounds in three-dimensional space. These wave files, called 3D wave files, are commonly used in computer games. This option reduces the work that your computer s main processor must do and may improve the responsiveness of your computer when playing 3D wave files. You must restart your computer for a change in this setting to take effect.
14122 More accurately positions 3D sounds that are located within one meter of the listener. Use this option if you play computer games that provide any of the following types of sound effects: whispering in the ear, wind noise, close-flying objects, or headphone simulation.
14131 Lets your audio hardware mix stereo wave files. This option reduces the work that your computer s main processor must do and may improve the responsiveness of your computer when playing stereo wave files. You must restart your computer for a change in this setting to take effect.
14132 Lets your audio hardware decode MP3 files when you play them using programs that use standard decoders (for example, Windows Media Player). This option reduces the work that your computer s main processor must do and may improve the responsiveness of your computer when playing MP3 files. You must quit and then restart any open programs used to play MP3 files for a change in this setting to take effect.
14133 Increases the apparent separation between the left and right speakers when playing stereo audio, providing an added sense of depth and spaciousness. Your audio hardware performs stereo expansion only on digital sources, which include stereo wave files and stereo MIDI files.\n\nNote: Stereo expansion is temporarily disabled during playback of 3D sounds.
14141 Enables the automatic suppression of speaker feedback when using a microphone.
14212 Specifies the maximum number of hardware-synthesized voices that the audio hardware will play simultaneously. The actual maximum may be less and depends on the availability of resources in the audio hardware. When all hardware-synthesized voices have been allocated to other notes, the driver software uses your computer s main processor to synthesize any additional notes in software.\n\nYou must quit and then restart any open programs used to play MIDI files for a change in this setting to take effect.
14213 Specifies the maximum number of software-synthesized voices that the audio driver will play simultaneously. The actual maximum may be less and depends on the speed of your computer's main processor and the amount of memory it has. When all software-synthesized voices have been allocated to other notes, the driver software uses voice allocation to silence notes.\n\nYou must quit and then restart any open programs used to play MIDI files for a change in this setting to take effect.
14215 Specifies the scheme used to silence a previous note and play a new one when the limits for hardware- and software-synthesized voices have been reached.\n\nThis option uses a special scheme, where notes that have decayed the most are silenced first.
14216 Specifies the scheme used to silence a previous note and play a new one when the limits for hardware- and software-synthesized voices have been reached.\n\nThis option uses the DLS static channel priority scheme, where each MIDI channel is assigned a priority. Notes on lower priority channels are silenced first.
14221 Allows the DLS collection to stay resident in memory, reducing the time it takes to begin playing a MIDI file. This option reduces the amount of memory available to other programs because the DLS collection remains in memory at all times. To increase the amount of memory available to other programs, turn off this option.
14222 Allows you to use a DLS collection other than the driver s built-in collection.
14223 Click to browse through folders to find the file you want.
14224 Provides a place for you to type the location and file name of the DLS collection you want to use. If you are not sure of the collection s location or file name, click Browse.
14312 Specifies the S/PDIF input to be configured on the optical port.
14313 Specifies the S/PDIF input to be configured on the coaxial port.
14314 Enable the S/PDIF input port.

14327 Select this option to route the stream from the S/PDIF input port to the S/PDIF output port.
14328 Select this option to send the stereo mix to the S/PDIF output port. The stereo mix is a combination of all sources that are currently playing to the speakers or headphones.
14329 Allows the recipient of the S/PDIF output stream to record the stream. If this option is unavailable, you are not allowed to specify whether copying is permitted.
14330 Indicates whether the S/PDIF input stream has been pre-emphasized. Pre-emphasis increases the magnitude of the higher signal frequencies on an audio channel, improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
14401 Turns on the equalizer. Your audio hardware performs equalization only on digital sources, which include stereo wave files and stereo MIDI files.\n\nNote: The equalizer is temporarily disabled during playback of 3D sounds.\n\nRecording the Stereo Mix device with the equalizer on will record the equalized stereo mix. To record the original stereo mix, turn off the equalizer.
14405 Move slider up and down to adjust the level of amplitude for a given range of frequency.

14611 Specifies that you are using six speakers. To use six speakers, connect all corresponding speakers to the back of the Game Theater XP rack, using either the RCA connectors or the 1/8" jacks. This feature is supported by some games and applications, like PowerDVD, which supports Dolby AC3 decoding on 5.1 channels.
14612 Specifies that you are using four speakers for listening to stereo sounds. To use four speakers, connect one pair of speakers in the main/front RCA connectors or 1/8" jacks and another pair of speakers in the surround connectors.\n\nThis option sends the same audio to both the front and the surround speakers.
14613 Specifies that you are using four speakers. To use four speakers, connect one pair of speakers in the main/front RCA connectors or 1/8" jacks and another pair of speakers in the surround connectors.\n\nWhen you have enabled Sensaura 3D sound processing, your audio hardware plays 3D sounds using Sensaura MultiDrive technology, which includes transaural crosstalk cancellation and filters that are optimized for four speakers. Otherwise, your audio hardware plays 3D sounds using standard filters and only the front speakers.\n\nIf you do not hear any sound from the back speakers when playing 3D sounds, make sure you have enabled Sensaura 3D sound processing.
14614 Specifies that you are using two speakers. To use two speakers, connect the speakers in the main/front RCA connectors or 1/8" jacks.\n\nWhen you have enabled Sensaura 3D sound processing, your audio hardware plays 3D sounds using transaural crosstalk cancellation and filters that are optimized for two speakers.
