are independent of the objects contained on it.

MAGIX Video Pro X4 supports playback and export in genuine 5.1 Surround
sound.
Requirements
You will require a sound card or a sound chip which is integrated into the
computer's motherboard with six individual outputs to playback the individual
channels:
front left (L) / right (R)
centre (C) / subwoofer (LFE)
back left (Ls) / right (Rs)
Surround playback is possible with all audio
driver models (see Playback
settings), (Wave, DirectSound, ASIO).
DirectSound is supported by most of the standard sound cards.
Wave drivers are similarly supported by many standard sound cards; however,
individual sound cards (for example, Soundblaster) require access to
DirectSound.
Note: 24-bit surround playback is often not possible, therefore please select
16-bit output.
For surround output with ASIO drivers, you will require a 6-channel-capable
ASIO driver (e.g. MAGIX Low Latency). Older multi-channel audio cards that
