- If you plug a headphone in, you do not get 7.1 from the game downmixed to Dolby Headphone by your hardware. You get 2.0 from the game "upmixed" to Dolby Headphone. You can tell audio directions can't be so precise that way compared to downmixed 7.1

Can anyone else confirm this problem? I can't find any mention of it anywhere on the internet, and the Guru3D reviewers said the headphone surround worked fine, so I'm a little skeptical, but this would be a deal-breaker for me if it were true.

I'm guess that games will only send 2 channel because of what windows says and then the sound card upmixes it to virtual surround.

Thanks for the reply! It didn't seem like anyone was ever going to chime in on this. 😉
Upmixed surround is terrible and I have no interest in it, but I love Dolby Headphone... Can't you just manually select 5.1 in the audio options in each game with headphones plugged in?
p.s. - Never seen or heard of that Tiamat before. Very interesting...

I did some testing. The OP is correct. At this point in time the Xonar Phoebus doesn't perform any type of multi-channel down mixing to stereo headphones.

So I guess the next question is whether or not this will be fixed in a driver update.
