[tfm]

Hi,

I just created a little avi (DivX 5.0.2, AC3 5.1 384kbps, 48kHz) with "Front Left", "Front Right", etc. speech and test signals.
(560kB)

Try if you want to easy test/identify channels.

Does this file test the subwoofer, or just the 5 speakers??

[tfm]

Front Left - Front Right - Rear Left - Rear Right - Center - LFE (with 100Hz tone)

... if you don`t hear anything when -LFE- is on screen, ... your subwoofer don`t handle 100Hz tone.

thank you very much :)

Hi,

... i changed Presenter Voice (10x to Nicky), changed 1 kHz Tone for Moving Sound to Voice ... for better testing.

Hey, nice test! Everything (including bass) seems to be alright with my setup. I've got an external Dolby Digital decoder so i used spdif out.

When i let the computer downmix the sound to stereo, the bass is totally gone, so maybe that is your problem, ToMmY...?
The pitch of the bass sound it quite high, so i think every speaker system can handle it.


And now a request for tfm :D

How about a real bass test where you let the sound slowly go from 100hz to ~20hz. That would be cool.

[tfm]

k, tomorow, but not from 20 to 120 ?
(LFE has cutoff filter at 120Hz ...)


Daniel.

[Slogra]

Sounds great to me! (i wasn't aware of the 120hz cutoff)

Hi,

- changed LFE 100Hz tone to 120-20Hz tones in steps of 5Hz.

loading now .. thanks indeed, very good idea, extremely useful to test Vorbis 5.1 channel mapping ..

nice. i've been wanting to check where the sound goes when my PC downmixes 5.1 to 2 ch (for places i play movies w/o DD receivers).
