Hello All,

I recently bought a cheap Aureal A3D 4 Channel Card and a relatively cheap 5.1 speaker setup. The Speakers are Logitech and have the capability for a 6 channel setup, however there is a matrix button that when you press it, your supposed to get the 6 channel effect on only 4 channel cards.

So I have it all set up like that. But I don't have a DVD Player on my computer. when I try to play games I can only get stereo sound, I was wondering what exactly i need to do in order to get the full Dolby sound. Do I need a DVD Player? Is it only capable with certain games? And How can I just TEST to see if it works properly?

Thanks for helping a newbie out!

Get a trial version (if you dont have it) of powerdvd from:

And download a dolby digital trailer from
http://www.cinenow.com/us/vobtrailer.php3

Be sure to download a dolby digital one for the first time as there are other formats of surround for ect DTS and SDDS which you can try later (if the dolby digital trailer works!)

How to use:
Unzip it once it downloaded and double click the file

Congratulations if it works
