Click on each speaker icon to play a test

In Windows Vista
, when changing the Speaker Configuration, a User Account Control
window will appear asking for permission for the “Turtle Beach Audio Configuration Tool”
– this is an operating system security feature that is new to Windows Vista. When Vista’s
User Account Control is enabled, in order for the Montego DDL Control Panel to make the
Speaker Configuration change you desire, you have to click ‘Continue’ on the User Account
Control dialog that appears. Since the Montego DDL Control Panel is scheduled to run
automatically following the installation of the driver, this prompt will be seen when the
desktop is loading – ‘OK’ must be clicked to allow the Montego DDL Control Panel to set
the default 5.1 speaker configuration.
