WinAMP 5.1?

KZWings · 6th August 2002, 06:19

Is there a plug-in out there that i can use with my 5.1 speakers? Kinda sucks that i have 5 speakers and a sub, and i only get MP3s out of 2 speakers and a sub. Will DFX do the job? However, i don't want to spend the money on a little WinAMP plug-in. Any help is appreciated.

what sound card and speakers do you have. the creative cards have faux seround sound algarythems that can give you 2.1 to 4.1 sound but i don't know if it can put 2.1 to 5.1. 2.1 to 4.1 is just stero doubling but 5.1 would be a bit more complex. both you speakers and sound card have to suport it I think (sorry 'bout the spelling, I'm not exactly an english major.)

Becuase MP3s don't have a center channel.
