I have the Mystique 7.1 and have installed Turtle Beach Montego drivers, but I don't feel I get the best sound possible.

I'm using MPC to play normal DVD's with AC3 & DTS in FFDShow set to SPDIF.

In MPC I have set FFDshow on external filters, to use the sound from that application.

I have set the internal sound filters to the following (See attachment file):

1. Is that the correct setting?

2. My real headeache comes in the Turtle Beach controlpanel, because which setting should I use. There is no passthrough with XP drivers, so should I use SPDIF out 48 khz instead of DDL 5.1 encoding (see attachment also)?

3. MPC also have DirectShow Audio with many options, but I don't have any idea on which to use. I can pick one the the listed below:

System default

Turtle Beach Montego DDL Device (00200000)

Cyberlink Audio Renderer

Default directsound device (00800000)

Default waweout device

Directsound: Turtle Beach Montego DDL Device

Null Audio Renderer (any)

Null Audio Renderer (uncompressed)

4. When I want to watch HD DVD/Blu-Ray I use PowerDVD Ultra with SPDIF passthrough, but again which setting should I use in the Turtle Beach Controlpanel? If I use 48 khz there is only sound in the two front speakers, but when I use DDL 5.1 encoding, there is audio in all of the speakers.

Hope there is someone that will help me get better sound :)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks but it didn't helped me that much.
What is SRM?
And what do I set my configuration to in Turtle Beach controlpanel when I want to play normal DVD and HD DVD/Blu-Ray to work?

SRM is the external/laptop version of the Montego that I have, so I looked there first. All I know is the FAQ says that it should pass through any SPDIF if SPDIF Out is off in the control panel; if that document doesn't work, then you'll have to ask Voyetra. Might require newer drivers, who knows. I don't have a digital receiver, just analog 5.1, so I can't test any of this.
