Hello ppl! Need a bit of help here... I play a lot of COD4 and positional audio is VERY important to me. I own Sennheiser PC-350 and a little cmoy amp which I hooked up to my X-fi titanium fatal1ty pro. The sound was pretty good and I was satisfied untill I took my yamaha htr-5830 receiver from my livingroom and connected it via optical cable to x-fi. OMG, I was amazed.. I mean god damn, now that's what I call a change in sound; the soundstage, the clarity of sound the...everything is so much better and to think I could have had all that one year ago when I bought it... ahh never mind. Ok, now I got a full spectrum of new effects and options for my sound, and also somthing called SILENT CINEMA. So, I was reading about this and I don't get one thing: do I set x-fi to 5.1 sound or stereo for the silent cinema to work properly??
This is what they say on their site:"All of the Yamaha receiver models have a feature called “Silent Cinema." This mode allows private listening enjoyment of multi-channel music or movie sound, including Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, through ordinary headphones! Simply plug in your headphones to enjoy your multi-channel experience right away"
As I understand, it uses 5.1 to mix it to some kind stereo 5.1 emulation or something for stereo headphones, i'm not very good with this audio stuff (not yet
), I just pwn noobs.
So, if someone with expirience would be so kind to educate me or give me some good advice to improve even more positional audio with these components, I would be very gratefull!
Thank you, thank you
