OC3D Review: Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1 sound card
- Thread starter PV5150
- Start date
new driversI hope I have set it up wrong or something, because when I enabled DDL and ran an optical feed to my home theatre system the sound coming out was really poor quality.
When I turn DDL off, the volume decreases dramatically, but the quality is much improved.
Any comments/pointers for me?

Try playing about with the settings in... I think it`s Sound.. then the input/outputs are listed and in the optical thingy there`s a tab about what rates and quality the feed is.
One thing I don`t like about the newer driversets for creative/auzen is the way the settings aren`t all in one place.
EDIT: Actually it probably not the Sound menu, it`s more like Playback or Recording devices (right click on the speaker icon in the tray for a shortcut)

Wow that`s weird, mine looks like this:
I know it says X-fi, but my Auzen one is 100% the same. That`s from right clicking on the speaker in the tray.

I've been playing with the card a little bit more tonight. I'm far from an audiophile so was lost in the technical speak on some of the av forum threads.
I'm now beginning to wonder what the chances are that I have either:
a) a faulty card
b) a faulty home theatre amp/receiver
Is there any way to test either of these components?
