Configuring the Sound Card with Surround Sound Capabilities (Windows Only)
If your system has a surround sound audio chip installed, the Avid application might not be able to fully configure the Windows Mixer to properly output audio. By default, Avid mutes all output sources except the primary audio, which is typically WAVE.
Some surround sound devices require other audio output sources such as Front Speakers to not be muted. To prevent the Avid software from improperly muting these outputs, you must override the Sound Card Configuration settings.
To override the mute feature:
| 1. | |
In the Project window, click the Settings tab.
|
| 2. | |
Double-click Sound Card Configuration.
|
| 3. | |
Click the Mute Overrides pop-up menu, and select an output source to
override the Avid system and leave the mute settings as they are set in
the operating system.
|
For example, if the Windows operating system Volume Control panel
is set to mute the sources, then Avid leaves those sources muted. If the
Windows operating system Volume Control panel is set to not mute the
sources, then Avid leaves those sources not muted.
