activate their stereo output couples via multiple separate drivers are not
suitable.
Output of the six output signals is achieved in all driver models in the output
channels in the same (standardized) order:
Channels 1/2: L-R
Channels 3/4: C-LFE
Channels 5/6: Ls-Rs
When using WAV or ASIO drivers, the loudspeaker settings normally have to be
changed to 5.1 playback in the control panel.
In order to do this you have to start the Control Panel for "Sounds and audio
devices" and select "Loudspeaker settings", "Advanced", "5.1 surround
loudspeakers".
On most systems the program does this automatically while using
DirectSound.
Importing and exporting surround audio files
Import
When importing MPEG-2 files with Dolby Digital sound (e.g. VOB files from
DVDs or DVB-TV recordings), you can choose from two different applications:
 Mixdown: Surround sound is displayed as an audio object under the video
object, playback of the surround track is reduced and recalculated to stereo
playback. Use this option if you don't wish to edit the surround sound, but
rather wish to export it. You can also use it if you think that a stereo export is
enough to meet your requirements
 Surround mix: The individual surround channel pairs (L-R, C LFE, Ls-Rs) are
split into three audio tracks as separate objects and the mixer is then set to
surround mode. This mode allows you to change the surround mix.
In MAGIX Video Pro X4 the import of Dolby Digital surround is always executed
as a mixdown. MAGIX Video Pro X4 can also import interleaved wave files
(multi-channel wave files), multi-channel Windows Media Audio and MP3
surround files; a surround mix is always created.
Export
Surround mix exports can occur in any one of the following formats:
 6-channel PCM files (interleaved wave)
