What are the correct settings I should have for Headphone gaming in my X-Fi control panel? In-Game with CMSS-3D(Such as speaker amount aka 5.1, 7.1, 2.1 or headphones) and Windows volume control?

Edit:

Right now my Windows Volume default device is SPDIF Out.

I'm using digital SPDIF out to my Compass.

In the Audio Control Panel it is at "Headphones". EAX Enabled. Crysitalizer at 20%. CMSS-3D Headphone enabled with Macrofx and Elevation Filter on.

Note: In the Settings Part, For my Digital I/O, I have " Play Stereo Mix Through Digital Output" I have no clue what that means but It allows me to have sound when I test the CMSS-3D Headphone for surround sound.

Is this correct?

Many suggest setting the game and actual windows control panel to 5.1 and set the car itself to headphone and CMSS3D.

Hope this helps.

I should probaly mention that in windows it is set as SPDIF so I can't pick 5.1. Also, When I change it to 5.1 in the X-Fi control panel, The option to test CMSS-3D Disappears!

Yes it stated no such things.

I think you actually choose the analog as the default out. You can then choose 5.1/7.1 in the windows settings for that device. Under properties on the Custom tab tick Enable Digital IO. In the CCP set FlexiJack Mode to Digital I/O. Everything should pass through SPDIF now anyway while applying the CMSS-3d processing.

I wish I could get all this working but my Creative drivers constantly crash out. I'm wondering if I should get a Forte, or just use USB or onboard through my Compass. =/

Na its on Optical Out.

Then I assume you bought the actual Flexijack piece, in which case everything I said still applies...

...it comes with a optical (SPDIF) adapter.....you plug it in. Im talkinga bout the settings. My system is hooked up correctly, I was jsut wondering about the settings

 

[GoodRevrnd]

IDK if the settings are significantly different on a Titanium or Fatal1ty, but on my XtremeMusic it works as I described in my first post.

He has a Forte 7.1 from Auzentech but the basic software is the same.
