Clicking on this icon will bring up a menu from where you can launch the Riviera Control Panel. You can also launch the Riviera Control Panel by clicking Start  All Programs  Turtle Beach  Riviera  Run Riviera Control Panel.  Before continuing with this section, make sure your speakers are plugged into the Riviera outputs and are powered on.

When Vista/7‟s User Account Control is enabled, in order for the Riviera Control Panel to make the Speaker Configuration change you desire, you have to click „Continue‟ on the User Account Control dialog that appears. Since the Riviera Control Panel is scheduled to run automatically following the installation of the driver, this prompt will be seen when the desktop is loading - „OK‟ must be clicked to allow the Riviera Control Panel to set the default 5.1 speaker configuration.
