Billie Jean Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 What version of PowerDVD do you have? If you just have the klipsch 4.1's you should just set powerdvd to 4 channel if that option is available in your version. That setting downmixes 6 channel to 4 channel. Basically you lose the dedicated bass channel and the center channel is played through your front speakers. Oh yeah, you'll want to set you soundcard to 4 channel output too. Unless of course you have a center channel speaker and an extra dedicated sub... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaila Posted April 3, 2001 Share Posted April 3, 2001 janko10- How do you like the whistler builds so far? Back on topic- I have PowerDVD 3.0 and have had great results with waveout and dolby surround. When Billie Jean said to use "four channel", does that mean Dolby, Stereo, ??, on PowerDVD's audio config? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janko10 Posted April 4, 2001 Author Share Posted April 4, 2001 kaila, i like whistler so far. i'm only running build 2416 right now which is beta 1 until i get around to installing beta 2. The user interface is so much nicer than any other windows and i'm getting so sick of bsod's in Me, which i still use for gaming. My only beef so far is with sound, as in i don't have any. Whistler won't install ANY drivers for my AE which really pisses me off, but then again it barely works for some people in Me/2k, so i guess i can't complain (as long as they get their **** together when XP goes gold and i can toss Me in the trash.
