August 6, 200817 yr Hi,Not sure if this should be considered a HW-related question but does someone know if FSX delivers 5.1 sound?
August 7, 200817 yr I don't think it's true 5.1I could be wrong. When I run my 5 speakers I do notice sound from the rear but mainly its just the engines, like the channels just output to the rear as a copy of the front R+L | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

Does the engine sound rotate from front to rear speakers?Ulf B
August 7, 200817 yr Author Reason I asked is I just bought an Altec Lansing FX5051 system that delivers 5.1 sound over USB without even a soundcard, was just curious to know how and if this will work with FSX but suppose I will find out as soon as I have it installed - will keep you posted!
August 9, 200817 yr i only hear sound from the front 2 speakers. nothing from the rear or center. how can i fix this?thanks,alex
August 10, 200817 yr What sound card are you using? Or is it onboard?Anyway, you'd have to go into the Control Panel, scroll down to Sounds and Audio Devices, then click advanced, use the drop down list to select 5.1 desktop sound or whatever there is... | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
August 10, 200817 yr Ryan,Did you miss my post above? I posted the following question as a response to your post:>>I don't think it's true 5.1>>>>I could be wrong.

Does the>engine sound rotate from front to rear speakers?You could answer the OP's question easily.Ulf B
August 10, 200817 yr Author So...I have now tried out my new 5.1 system and it works great however FSX don't seem to support true 5.1 sound but I do get sound from all speakers but I belive that is more because of the sound system/Windows spreads the sound between all speakers.I also have a switch on the back of my subwoofer where I can choose 5.1 or 2-4 depending on the audio source and what it supports and for FSX the 2-4 setting seems to work better.
