Setting up rear speakers for A3D Surround in Windows 98:

1. Open the Multimedia Control Panel (Start | Settings | Control Panel |
   Multimedia).

   

2. Click on the Advanced button to the left of the Preferred device: listing.
   This will bring up the Advanced Audio Properties dialog. In Speaker Setup:,
   choose Quadraphonic Speakers. Then click OK. You may now close the
   Multimedia Control Panel. Leave the Control Panel open; we will be 
   returning to it. 

   

3. Go back to the Control Panel (Start | Settings | Control Panel). 
   Open the Montego II Digital I/O Control Panel.  Click on the Digital I/O
   tab and select Quad Speakers.

   

4. Click on the A3D Settings tab. In A3D Output Mode, choose Quad Speakers.
     
       NOTE: 
       2046 driver users must click on EQ tab and select CDROM to get
       CD audio out the rear speakers. The EQ tab will only be available
       with the 2046 drivers.
   
   Then click Close. You may now close the Control Panel. 

   

5. Now open the Windows Mixer (Start | Programs | Accessories | Entertainment
   | Volume Control).  



6. Click on the Advanced button below the S/PDIF Out fader. This will bring up
   the Advanced Controls for S/PDIF Out.  Make sure there is a check mark in 
   the box labeled 2 - Enable QUAD Audio.  

   



USER TIPS: 

1. Sound from a CD Audio disc will play through both the normal Line Output
   (green jack on Montego II) and the Rear Speaker or 'Auxiliary' Output 
   on the daughter board. 
 
   - The S/PDIF Out (Rear Speakers) fader in the Windows Volume Control mixer
     must not be muted; meaning that no checkmark should appear in the 
     Mute box. 

     

     Also, Enable Quad Audio should have a checkmark in the S/PDIF Out 
     Advanced Properties. Just remember that enabling the Quad Speakers 
     disables the S/PDIF output and vice-versa. 
   
     

   - The CD Audio input must be enabled in the Windows Volume Control mixer. 

   - The CD audio cable must be properly connected from the Line Outputs 
     of the CD-ROM drive to the CD Audio socket on the Montego II card 
     (internal connection). This is the black socket on the top of the card. 

     

2. A wavetable daughter board synthesizer such as the Cancun FX attached to
   the wavetable header (MPU-401 port) cannot play through the rear speakers
   or the S/PDIF output. 

3. Audio coming in from the Aux or TAD inputs on the Montego II cannot be
   played through the rear speakers or S/PDIF output.
