MitchKov 10 Posted July 28, 2009 My question is - Is the arma sound engine optimized for a certain number of input channels? Realized my post was too long so put ^ in, here's some background: Ok, so quick question. I searched, but couldn't find a similar question/answer. Basically in my sound card config panel, I choose the "system input". The options i have are 2,4,6,and 8 channel. It has suggestions, such as, MP3 - 2ch, DVD with DTS: 6 ch, 3d games: 8 ch It also says improper slection may cause irregular sound processing. I'm going out to a pair of headphones i got this weekend (senn HD 555) and im not sure what sounds best. Right now I have it set on 2 ch w/ virtual surround, EX Xear 3d and dts Neo PC enabled. (Not sure if this is overkill or what) Basically i ended up at this because i thought i heard a sound i had never heard, but i couldnt recreate and stuck with it anyway. I tried all the options and none of them stuck out as obviously better, and the 8 ch it recommended i thought sounded "irregular" at times. I'm trying for the best surround simulation I can get, and was just wondering if there is a definitive answer here, or if it varies between setups. Obviously my output is 2 channel, but with the 7.1 surround sim I wondered if my card would be better at reproducing this with more input channels (8 made sense to me, but didn't necessarily work best). For ref, my card is a Auzentech Xplosion 7.1 Cinema Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
