Setting Description Setting Level
Audio Output Device Select the device to be used for playback of audio that has been decoded such as mp3 Level
Number of channels Select the number of channels supported by the audio connection, or the number of speakers if connected by analog connections. This setting does not apply to passthrough audio. Note - SPDIF supports 2.0 channels only but can still output multichannel audio using a format supported by passthrough Level
Output configuration Fixed Select how the properties of the audio output are set:

[Fixed] - output properties are set to the specified sampling rate & speaker configuration at all times
[Optimized] - output properties are set at the start of playback and will not change if the properties of the source changes
[Best Match] - output properties are set to always be as close a match to the source properties as possible

Level

Stereo upmix Select to enable upmixing of 2 channel audio to the number of audio channels specified by the channel configuration Level
Normalize levels on downmix Select how audio is downmixed, for example from 5.1 to 2.0: [Enabled] maintains the dynamic range of the original audio source when downmixed however volume will be lower [Disabled] maintains volume level of the original audio source however the dynamic range is compressed. Note - Dynamic range is the difference between the quietest and loudest sounds in a audio source Level
Resample quality Low Select the quality of resampling for cases where the audio output needs to be at a different sampling rate from that used by the source

[Low] is fast and will have minimal impact on system resources such as the use of the CPU
[Medium] & [High] will use progressively more system resources

Level
Medium
High
Keep audio device alive Select the behaviour when no sound is required for either playback or GUI sounds. [Always] - continuous inaudible signal is output, this keeps the receiving audio device alive for any new sounds, however this might also block sound from other applications. [1- 10 Minutes] - same as Always except that after the selected period of time audio enters a suspended state [Off] - audio output enters a suspended state. Note - sounds can be missed if audio enters suspended state Level
Play GUI sounds Configure how interface sounds are handled, such as menu navigation and important notifications Level
