Speaker Arrangements

Are you a sound fanatic? Do you have your computer hooked up for surround sound or at least have multiple speakers? Well, if you tell Windows about your sound configuration, you'll probably enjoy your speakers even more. Here's how:

1. Click the Start button, Settings, Control panel. Open the Multimedia icon. XP users, you need to hit the Start button, Control Panel, then open the Sounds & Audio Devices icon. Nothing like consistancy from verison to version huh?

2. Under the Audio tab, click the Advanced Properties button (in XP, it's just called the Advanced button).

Using the drop box on that screen, you can tell Windows what your speaker arrangement is. Everything from headphones to surround sound.

Playing Quake in surround sound. Now that's fun. If only I could keep my wife from yelling at me. I think she said something about the floor vibrating, but I couldn't hear for sure...
