In one case it's a male voice, and in another a female one, so it's not just frequency. I don't know if there's really something different in the way those two are encoded, all I know is the effect is startlingly different from the rest. Anne Its called centre channel encoding and is done at the studio for just such an effect for ppl with 4.1 up systems. *off topic..is this wrapping correctly i wonder?*...hm.. n/m SOrry ADD kicked in.. lol anyway you can force that with certain plugins for some software music players ... don't know if XMMS has that ability but I believe it does. Its basically a way to separate certain sounds for hte human ear thus creating (for a human) pleasant ambience subtle audio cues. Kinda like multi-layered classical music with strings in one area subtle fluting going on elsewhere that if you listen closely you can hear perfectly ...

Re: [newbie] Soundblaster Audigy 5.1 Surround
i need the surround while watching a dvd ;) this can only be done with xine. you defenatly dont have surround with the cd player, cause a music cd only have stereo sound. in this way, you have the same sound at all speakers(left and right are different) Zitat von Anne Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Wednesday 30 Jul 2003 7:53 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi i use a sounblaster audigy. i dont have surround in linux :( in windows i do (but who likes weindows?*smile*) are there any ways to get surround? r.liechti I have had SBLive surround and now Audigy surround working.

Get it working in xmms and it will probably work in xine - I suspect that they both need the same plugin. you defenatly dont have surround with the cd player, cause a music cd only have stereo sound. in this way, you have the same sound at all speakers(left and right are different) It cannot be that simple, as I have a couple of cd's where the centre speaker is definitely carrying a separate track.

Anne Uh - Anne, how did you get the surround to work with the SBDead! ??? With the SBLive under 9.0 I followed Derek's instructions to install the cdread plugin. The Mandrake page says that you need it if you don't have a proper cable connection, but in spite of the cable nothing was working before, and everything worked afterwards. When lightning caused a spike that got my card I bought an Audigy. IIRC it worked out of the box - but remember the plugin was still there. Under 9.1 emu10k2 is installed and everything is fine.
