Title: USB 5.1 Compatability?
Post by: Zhillsguy on May 12, 2013, 12:03:23 am

I have been using MC now for about a year, and love it.

My current setup is pc or laptop--->Behringer UCA202---> (via RCA) small Mackie mixer--->pro crossover--->pro amps (highs/subs).

To date I have only been using it in 2 channel output format. If I were to get a 5.1 adapter such as:

Will I have full functionality of MC's DSP Studio with the Creative drivers installed? Will formats such as DTS be passed through for the adapter to process? I would like to throw together a surround system for watching movies and music videos outdoors, and I am using a (parametric EQ) HPF for my subs......

Thank you.
