RE: Re: kx drivers & sound card recommendations

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It CAN be very complex - but for simple 4 channel support - all you
need to do is install the drivers, set the surrounder option in the DSP to
7.1 direct path and save the config - that's all there is to do!

Of course, if you want to manually route the signals through the DSP, you
can do and things start getting a little more complex!
