CMSS 3D: Simulating Surround Sound
Creative MultiSpeaker Surround (CMSS) 3D makes ordinary two-channel (Left and
Right Stereo) sound seem to surround you, even through only two speakers. For
users with 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 multichannel speaker systems, CMSS can also simulate
surround sound from ordinary stereo. This is useful for watching DVDs and VCDs,
which contain only stereo soundtracks, or listening to CDs with two-channel audio.
To enable the CMSS 3D configuration mean by check the Enable CMSS 3D item.
Then you can select CMSS for multichannel audio enhancement on 4/4.1, 5.1, 6.1 or
7.1 speaker systems.
Audio Clean-up: Removing noise and distortion
First, you have to check the Enabled Audio Clean-up item to enable its configuration
mean. Audio Clean-up allows you to process prerecorded as well as real-time audio,
in order to remove noise, click sounds and other artifacts. For example, when recording
music from old vinyl records, "click" and "pop" sounds can be removed with the
Clean-up feature. The Click Meter informs you whenever the noise clean-up feature
is activated during recording and also how many clicks are removed.
Important
For a 5.1-speaker system, audio for your subwoofer is processed by the
speaker system.
