Connecting Speaker Systems If you are playing games in Windows 98 SE MS-DOS mode (pure DOS mode), you must: • Make sure the CD Audio connector on the Sound Blaster Audigy card and the Analog Audio connector on the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive are connected. • In addition, if you get distorted sound, do not connect the CD SPDIF connector on the Sound Blaster Audigy card to the Digital Audio connector on the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. For instructions on how to switch between digital and analog modes, refer to topic "Digital Output Only" of the Creative Surround Mixer online Help. If you have a 5.1 channel speaker system, you can upmix your stereo sources (such as CD Audio, MP3, WMA, MIDI and Wave) to 5.1 channels by using the Creative Multi Speaker Surround (CMSS) technology. To upmix, you need to enable the CMSS feature in PlayCenter (Player view). Refer to the PlayCenter online Help.
