Getting 5.1 on GTXP 6.1
What a great choice, the Hercules Game Theater XP. My favorite sound card to date (non pro that is). You are lucky in many respects. Not only will you get 5.1 mp3's and movies and games, but you also have a wonder breakout box, one of the best mixers of any sound card having control over the level of up to 6.1 speakers all individually. To get 5.1 mp3's is very simple, and unlike the Creative cards, it actually sounds good! Better than WinRIP and PowerDVD 4.0 XP's 5.1 MP3s.
1. Open up the GTXP control panel (icon on the far right)
Here is what will pop up.
If you want 5.1 sound, make sure 5.1 is selected in like it is here.
2. Click the Other tab
Click Enable Stereo expansion, now you have 5.1 MP3's with the GTXP. It sounds great by the way.
