256565 2004-07-29 22:27:00 Is anyone able to email (or point me to) a 5.1 channel sound file that I can use to test my surround speaker setup?

I've just recently bought an Altec Lansing 251 spkr set as part of a pc upgrade, but I'm not sure I've got my system right. The rear speakers are almost inaudible on the driver setup that I have. I'm using the onboard sound (5.1) on a DFI LanParty NF2 Ultra B.

What I'm hoping to find is a short sound clip that cycles through the channels sequentially... do these exist ?:|

Cheers, S

256568 2004-07-29 22:42:00 Rob99 is right on the money,the nforce2 audio wil have an applet in the control panel with multiple audio tests to demonstrate the 5.1 effect.


Bear in mind though that the rear speakers will in general operate at a lower volume then the front channel,every 5.1 set up i have played with has done so,from comp set ups to home theatre systems,
