10.2.2 Headzone in combination with a 5.1 sound card
• Use the analog inputs of your Headzone base to connect to the analog outputs of your 5.1 sound card.
• Use a 5.1 sound card which is capable of surround decoding (e.g. Soundblaster Audigy Series).
• Connect Headzone to your PC via Firewire to use the Headzone software control panel for configuration.
• When playing DVDs via a software DVD player (e.g.: PowerDVD, WinDVD) you do not have to use a version which is capable of
decoding the surround stream from the DVD. Please go to the “Audio settings” tab of your player and select “SPDIF” as the
output format to let your sound card do the surround decoding.
• When playing DVDs via a software DVD player (e.g.: VLC, PowerDVD, WinDVD) please select a proper surround audio stream on
the DVD (most DVDs also contain stereo streams). You can check this by watching the level meters on the Headzone software
control panel (see chapter 8.4.2 “Surround channel level meters”) and see if there is audio on all channels.
• Please make sure that the surround output bus corresponds to the ITU-775 standard. Please refer to chapter 12. “Technical
specifications”.
