Sound playing from the wrong speakers 
If you hear sound from the wrong speakers, for example, if you click the Left Front speaker 
icon and hear “Left Front” emanating from a different speaker, check the following: 
ƒ  Check the Speaker Position in the Effects Tab. When enabled, this lets you change the 
position of each speaker by moving the speaker icons. This could cause the sound to 
emanate from different speakers if the speaker icons are moved from their default 
positions. 
ƒ  Check that the speakers are connected properly. If using a mini to RCA adapter to 
connect the speakers, try swapping the left and right RCA plugs to correct the problem. 
ƒ  If the Center/Sub speakers are swapped and it’s inconvenient to swap the cables, you 
can click the “” button next to the Speaker Configuration pull-down menu and check 
the “Center/Bass Output Swap” option. 
Microphone Feedback from the Internal Microphones 
Feedback is the ringing noise (often described as squealing, screeching, etc) that is caused by 
a signal that travels in a loop from the speakers back into the microphone and again to the 
speakers. SRM’s internal microphones can cause feedback by amplifying a signal from a 
speaker connected to SRM. To correct this, mute the Microphone volume in the SRM 
Control Panel Mixer panel, or simply turn the microphone volume down so that it does not 
amplify the speaker output.
