Asus Xonar Phoebus Set Up Help/Confirmation

Yeah, there's not many drop downs for the Phoebus interface. What you see is what it is pretty much. Is there really no way to check if I'm on 7.1?

Ecko mate I just found this it might give you a bit more than you are seeing. I couldn't find any manuals on this device and (and the fellow says the manual is pretty ordinary) so I think it might answer quite a few answers because it looks pretty cool to me.

I do hope this throws a bit of light on it and it certainly sounds like something I would like except for the price. He says it is about $180 on Amazon - we do not have that out here and it makes my Xonar DG look positively cheap as chips at $40!! But I like it cos it was easy to fix and gives me what I want yours is probably aimed at theatre systems I should reckon.

Anyway let me know how you go and enjoy:)

Go here to download the manual (I found it to be very informative). There are several full manuals listed but they don't specify the language. I found the third one down from the top (the first full manual) is in English. To see if you are in 7.1, go to the speakers settings screen. 7.1 should be ticked.

My speaker option is greyed out. Is it because I don't have actual speakers? I'm using headphones.

Well, I figured it out. I had to plug my headphone mic into the front jack to enable the speakers. Thank you everyone for your assistance.
