lol, 5.1 means that the sound is coming from 5 directions.

 

[etzel90]

right you are, 4 speaker surround means 4.1

 

[Gorgon]

Yeah 5.1, 6.1 will be supported Both for HL2 & D3

I can't remember for certain, but didn't HL2 go up to 7.1 surround?

I can't remember for certain, but didn't HL2 go up to 7.1 surround?

i think it was like 20.1 or something.....

 

[A2597]

does such a think even exist? LOL I'd want 20.5 anyway. more bass goodness.

 

[chriso20]

right you are, 4 speaker surround means 4.1

I thought 5.1 meant 4 speakers (front:LEFT RIGHT, back:LEFT RIGHT) then a subwoofer(bass)?

6.1 includes a centre speaker for ppl speaking and stuff.

3.1 is 2 speakers and a sub (what i have).

4.1 cant exist surely?

5.1 = fornt and back left/right and a center speaker for voice... the 0.1 is the sub woofer
