Description
Click this check box to enable the 7.1 Virtual Speaker Shifter. Clicking
the text bar will switch the right window to the Speaker Shifter page
for manual adjustments.
Note: Settings will be retained even when a different Analog Output
is selected.
You can drag each speaker or listener to a different position "virtually"
using only your mouse. The Xonar DSX card will process the sound
and reposition the virtual speakers real-time. The Subwoofer does not
emit directional sounds, and hence can be moved only closer to or
further away from the listener.
Resets all Speaker Shifter settings to defaults.
Click + to increase volume (moves speakers closer); click – to
decrease volume (moves speakers further away)
Make all speakers (except Subwoofer) rotate counter-clockwise
Make all speakers (except Subwoofer) rotate clockwise

The default mode allows you to manually drag each speaker or the
listener with your mouse.
