Ah, but does it revert when using the headphone plug?, if not.. could be a win7 bug
It stays at 2.0, it also stays 2.0 on my brother's Windows 7 machine.Ah, but does it revert when using the headphone plug?, if not.. could be a win7 bug

I still prefer stereo over virtual 5.1, especially when using OpenAL or Alchemy. Sound stage is much, much wider yet you still get HRTF (obviously not in stereo software audio games, like pretty much every game these days but older games sound nice).

Disabled, headphone mode disabled and using line out. This is how it sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0qL7BX_XcUthat is with sbx pro studio ON ?
Yes, on line out the Windows settings default at 2.0 stereo. But when using the headphone out it automatically always reverts to 5.1 surround after reboot.
No it does not, it shouldn't. If it does, something is wrong or the new drivers are buggy. My brother uses the headphone out and it does not revert to anything. It didn't when I used it (had to stop using because for some very weird reason audio from flash player in Firefox and IE10 sound crazy loud in Windows 8, new bug caused by the driver or recent flash updates).Yes, on line out the Windows settings default at 2.0 stereo.

Ofcourse the virtual surround through headphone out is superior. It was made with HRTF as its primary function. The line out is made to virtualize surround with external speakers in front of you. Completely different audio cues and timing.
speaking about line-out doesn´t necessary mean you´d use speakers. Someone could headphone-amp this line-out and use it with cans (and that´s what i read from his post).
though i don´t see why this would be the case with the z-series ... this would only make sense, if the line-out connected amp is (way!) inferior to the integrated amp.
