1185 - MMCT Sound/Comm
Speaker Mapping
In order to map the outputs of the MMCT aural cue system to a generic sound card, it must be defined in the C130Sound.cfg file. The config file should contain a section that looks similar to the one shown below, specifically, the "SpeakerMap" parameter.
- [Audio]
- Output=[default]
- SpeakerMap=00h
- SampleRate=44100
SpeakerMap is a hexadecimal value that is a combination of bits that are defined as the speaker positions. The following page from Microsoft's website describes the way this parameter works:
This page provides an extended table of valid bit values (refer to the dwChannelMask definition):
On the MMCT, the output channel layout is:
- 1 - Front Left
- 2 - Front Right
- 3 - Rear Left
- 4 - Rear Right
- 5 - Sub-woofer
- 6 - Seat Shaker
The goal of the SpeakerMap parameter is to describe how that channel layout should be presented to the sound card. It may be possible to simply map the outputs straight through (SpeakerMap=03Fh). With that setting, the outputs will be mapped as follows:
- MMCT channel --> Sound Card Output
- Front Left --> Front Left
- Front Right --> Front Right
- Rear Left --> Front Center
- Rear Right --> Low Frequency
- Sub-woofer --> Back Left
- Seat Shaker --> Back Right
