Stereo Sound Tester

In the eventuality that you consider yourself an audiophile, then you probably know that there is more than having the perfect sound system than acquiring the latest surround system available on the market. Then again, before you get to tweak until you obtain the crystal clear sound, first you need to make sure that you have done the wiring correctly.

Stereo Sound Tester is a small application designed to help you determine whether the speaker system connected to your computer is working properly.

The setup is a forthright process that takes little, but it may give you the impression that your PC is stuck for a fraction of a second, time during which the app is scanning the hardware. The program comes with a user-friendly and intuitive interface that includes direct links to the four tests you can perform.

Consequentially, depending on the system you are connecting, you can check the speakers one by one via the mono test. Alternatively, you can make further inspections and see whether all hardware is working properly by proceeding to the 2in1, 4in1 or the 6in1 sound analysis.

In case the sound is not exactly what you would expect, then the utility allows you to check the capabilities and default settings of the audio card. Although it is not much, the app provides you with a few details about the user configuration, power management and the status of the hardware, so you can adjust them accordingly if necessary.

At the same time, the app displays the name of the sound card and manufacturer, information that you can use to download the latest drivers for your audio card. It would have been nice if the tool allowed you to enable and disable various parameters associated with the audio hardware.

If you are setting up or just adjusting your computer's audio system and want to make sure that all the connections or wiring is done correctly, then perhaps Stereo Sound Tester could come in handy.
