When playing games in 5.1 with a receiver connected by 3 analog plugs, do I want CMSS 3d on or off? Which upmix mode do I want to use?

Also, do I need the digital I/O module to transfer 44.1 sound? Or can analog do it? Just wondering because I doubt I could tell the difference between 48kHz and 44.1kHz.
 
For the cmms 3d all it does it upmix sources, like it takes 2.1 and makes it sound like 5.1. And for the 4.1 sound it really depends on what kind of cables you are using.
 
Um, from what I've read and experienced with my X-fi, you do NOT want any extra "mixing" going on if it's already outputting 5.1 via analog.

Yes, you can only transfer bit-perfect playback in audio creation mode using a digital out (there are a few ways of doing this). Remember you also have to set the "Master Sampling Rate" to 44.1kHz if you want fully unmixed 44.1kHz audio data to be outputted by your X-Fi.

Nope, analog always uses the SRC.
