Setting up multi-streaming audio
Example 1: For Online Gaming
To configure multi-streaming audio output for online gaming with Realtek HD Sound
Effect Manager, you must enable Voice-Over-IP software (software used to converse
over the Internet). Other players hear your voice from the microphone via the
Internet and you hear the game audio from the rear speakers:

•
A headphone set to the front Headphone Out (green) connector.
•
A microphone to the front Mic In (pink) connector for online conversation.
•
A set of powered stereo 5.1, or 7.1 speakers to the rear Speaker Out
connectors for gaming sound output.
2 Click the Realtek HD Audio Manager icon on the system tray to
open the Realtek HD Audio Sound Effect Manager window.
3 Choose the Mixer tab.
4 Click the Multi-streaming setting audio button. The dialog box
opens.
5 Select the Enable multi-streaming playback check box.
6 Select one of the following options to determine how you would like to hear
your own voice:
•
Check the Output Mic In/Line In to front panel check box, and
select OK.
•
Check the Output Mic In/Line In to rear panel check box, and
select OK.
7 Select Realtek HD Audio rear output from the drop-down list.
8 Start the game that you are about to play. You should hear the gaming sound
on the rear stereo, 5.1, or 7.1 speakers.

conversation with your teammates.
