RMAA Test Guide

The Xonar D2X driver CD includes RightMark Audio Analyzer (RMAA) v5.6, a
popular software intended for testing the quality of 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, and using
frequency analysis algorithms. The following provides a step-by-step loop-back
test guide for your Xonar D2X audio card.
10.1

Setting Up Xonar D2X Audio Card

Open the Xonar D2X Audio Center. Use the settings below:
1. Select the 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 the "Hi-Fi mode" button in
the Audio Center.
