Help
 
This button launches the on-line help system. It contains detail descriptions of all features of the 
PSA2 HD interface and its operation. 
Reverb
 
This button toggles the QSound Environmental Modeling (QEM) on or off.  However, some games 
apply their own environmental effects, which are not controlled by this button. Environmental 
modeling uses reverb (reflected sound) and delay to create the impression that the listener is in a 
particular environment.  
QEM provides a wide range of high-quality environmental modeling effects that are selectable 
from the Visualization panel.  By selecting a default environment, you impose the effects of that 
environment for music, movies, or games that do not use the EAX feature. 
PSA2 HD responds automatically to games that use the EAX and EAX2.0 commands. These 
games automatically control the selection of environments (regardless of what is selected from 
the Visualization Control Panel) to match various scenes and locations, and change these 
selections as the environment changes. The slider in the Visualization Control Panel controls the 
intensity of the reverb. If the level of Reverb is not as expected, check the slider in the 
Visualization Control Panel and adjust properly.
