I ended up using the primary Line Out port on my Motherboards audio driver (Realtek High Definition Audio). Next you'll need to select the port that you'll be plugging in your Headphones. We don't want ASIO4ALL taking that port as that is what we'll be using to route audio from our DVD player. Deselect the "Out" port if it is selected. You'll need to click the "power buttons" for the " LoopBeAudio - Internal Audio Ports" device, as well as only the "In" port. Click the wrench icon to open up advanced mode. While you're in the Options window, you'll want to setup the VST Plugin paths correctly, if you haven't already done so.Ĭlick the "Control Panel" button to open the ASIO4ALL control panel. In the Options window, set your Audio Driver to ASIO - ASIO4ALL, your sample rate to 48,000Hz (or whatever you set your speaker device to), and the buffer size will probably be fine at 512. This step uses Cantabile 3 Lite (which is free, btw), if you are using another VST Host, you'll need to figure this step out on your own. This will make sure that ASIO4ALL or your VST Host can't change the format of either the Recording or Playback devices (which would make this not work). Confirm that the Shared Format is correct, and then select "Lock To:". Now open up the LoopBeAudio Monitor, which you can usually find by double-clicking the device icon on your task bar (if it's not there, launch the app from your programs list). If you see mutltiple options for the number of speakers, make sure you choose a 6 channel option, since we're using 5.1 audio. I prefer 24 bit, 48000 HZ (Studio Quality). Go to the Advanced tab, and set the Default Format to your format of choice. Next, double-click on "Internal Playback" to open up it's properties window. LoopBeAudio is actually capable of handling up to 24 channels of audio, (we're only using 6 channels) so keep that in mind for future setups. Keep it set to full-range.Ĭlick "Finish to finish setting up the speakers. Our virtual surround sound system is limited only by the range of your headphones. Cheaper desktop surround sound systems often use limited range speakers for some of the channels to save cost. Make sure that all of your speakers are set to Full-Range. Make sure that all speakers (Center, Subwoofer, Rear Pair) are selected. Select 5.1 Surround, I prefer the setup with the Surrounds in the back, as that is most similar to a theatrical surround setup. Right click on the "Internal Playback" device, and select "Configure Speakers". Set LoopBeAudio's "Internal Playback" device as your default playback device.

Rightclick on the speaker on your taskbar and select "Playback Devices". ASIO4ALL - For routing multiple audio sources together into a single device.I would recommend NOT using a DAW, as it uses way too many resources for our purposes.

LoopBeAudio - $20 (or similar multi-channel audio rerouting driver, some audio devices may include something like this).Waves Nx - $99 (on sale for $49 as of this writing, there is also a 14 day trial).I have no doubt that this is possible on a Mac, I just don't have one to test it with.
WAVES NX TUTORIAL WINDOWS
Now I should preface in saying that this is a Windows Only tutorial. In fact, it even works with computer games that support multi-channel audio output. It took a little fiddling around, but I got it working.
WAVES NX TUTORIAL MOVIE
I was able to reroute audio from VLC playing a DVD with a Dolby 5.1 soundtrack through Waves Nx, so that I could watch the movie in full surround sound with headphones.

I thought I'd take a more novel approach to the plugin. The intended purpose of this plugin is to allow Sound Mixers the ability to mix in 5.1 surround sound without needing an expensive, acoustically treated mix stage. It uses your webcam to do head-tracking to pan your virtual "head" around the room. Waves recently released a new plugin, Waves Nx that simulates an ideal surround sound studio with only your headphones.
