Realtek audio manager

[Dskull]

Realtek HD Audio Manager configuration 7.1 won't work with my headphones neither any other than stereo. It used to work till a day back but not now. I am using Audio Technica ath-50x headphone. Surround effect is working on my headphones when I play through my mobile tho , so I guess there is no problem with my headphones.

But your headphones will work best when used in stereo in the first place? If you're using your headphones in surround you're erasing the detail you're getting from each channel. The ATH-50x is not a 7.1 surround headphone.

I just wanted to know whats wrong with my software. Thanks for informing me by the way
Is there any other better audio manager than realtek.

It's best to use the software that comes with the audio chip of your motherboard, which is Realtek in this case. Not sure why surround mode isn't working for you, but It's best to use Realtek.

Which format should I use.

For headphones? Stereo - - - they've only got two earpieces after all - - that's stereo. Anything else with headphones is pointless.

If you want genuine surround sound use 5.1 or 7.1 speakers depending on which of those two your soundcard supports.

Think he means format in bits, and Hz.

It depends on audio chip and headphones. Mine is set at 24 Bits, 48000 Hz.

Oh, well in that case select the best quality format that's available or whichever sounds best to you.
