Sometimes INTENTIONALLY one plugs the speakers in a different way. It also can be changed by various mapping schemes. The correspondence for channels over 8 is WAY up in the air, and some sound cards DO have more than 8. When this was put in, various people suggested many identification schemes. I remember a debate or some such. I don't believe much was decided by the group, only the author of the updates. As for the various languages, I will note that the printout of the speaker test is currently in English (has anyone internationalized it?), so having the spoken words probably won't hurt anyone. I built up my own "speaker identification" 'wav' file, that repeated simultaneously the speaker name for each channel. It was a bit easier when fiddling around with mixer controls because you didn't need to wait for the sequence to roll around to the speaker you were testing. You could also go to the speaker and listen to find out the proper thing. In that case, having the identifier 'spoken' was a great helper. As for me, I can always use the switch. Have the default any way you want :-) -- Tom Watson tsw@xxxxxxxxxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
