on other Creative audio products;
you should only enable upmixing
on either your audio device or your
GigaWorks S750 (but not both).
The table below shows you when
you should bypass the upmixing
feature on your speakers. The
upmix feature only applies to a 5.1
and 6.1 signal from the output
source device. Auxiliary and
M-PORT analog stereo inputs are
unaffected.
