Given that many people may not be aware of the capabilities and limitations of Dolby Digital, a help file, even as a PDF, would have been useful. Installation threw up no surprises but it should be noted that the manual is pretty pathetic and offers no additional information other than installation instructions (including a diagram which is incorrectly marked). This doesn’t mean that you’ll get surround sound from any signal only that you’ll get Dolby Digital, which can be anything from a mono up to a 7.1 channel signal. The headline feature of the card though is the inclusion of Dolby Digital Live, which means that any audio signal can be encoded into Dolby Digital in real-time. The 7.1 is similar to the Aureon 5.1 but with a couple more channels, just in case six weren’t enough (in soundcard land 5.1 equals six). The Aureon PCI 7.1 is the latest in the extensive Aureon line up from Terratec.
