Taskbar Menu

Right-click on the Aureal logo in the Windows taskbar to see the tray control menu.

Select between headphone and speaker output mode using the four top options. This setting only affects output from applications using Aureal's A3D Interactive positional audio technology.

Headphones:  Use this selection if you are listening through headphones

Monitor speakers: Use this selection if you are listening through speakers placed closely apart

Satellite speakers: Use this selection if you are listening through speakers placed far apart

Quad speakers: Use this selection if you are listening through four speakers.  For optimal experience, place two speakers in front of you and two speakers behind you.

Adjust Audio Properties - Selecting this menu option has the same affect as double-clicking the taskbar icon, launching the Vortex Control Panel applet.

Remove tray control – This removes the icon from the taskbar.
