10. RMAA Test Guide
Xonar D2 driver CD includes RightMark Audio Analyzer (RMAA) v5.6, which is
a popular software intended for testing the quality of analog and digital sound
sections of any audio equipment, be it a sound card, portable MP3 player,
consumer CD/DVD player, or a speaker system. The measurements are conducted
by playing and recording test signals, as well as using frequency analysis
algorithms. The following provides a step-by-step and easiest loop-back test guide
for your Xonar D2 audio card.
10.1 Setting Up Xonar D2 Audio Card
Open Xonar D2 Audio Center. Do the settings below:
1. Select sample rate you will be using with RMAA (here we set 48KHz for
testing 48KHz/24bit signals).
2. Set analog output to 2-speaker mode (to get rid of any channel processing
over RMAA stereo signals in the driver)
3. Turn off all sound effects including Dolby, DTS, 7.1 speaker shifter, EQ,
Environment, etc. A quick way to do so is to enable “Hi-Fi mode” button in the
Audio Center.
