Release 13.2 and 24 bit conversion?

[savagcl]

Windows Vista 32/64 bit system, 5.1 speakers.

Trying to convert a wav file to mp3 file. Using these settings:

CBR = 192 kbps
encoding = high quality,
DSP Settings:
Bit Depth - 24 bit
channel mapper = 6 "5.1 Surround" (DVD).

After conversion, the tag shows:
Channels 2 (stereo)
Sample Rate 44.1KHz
Sample size 16 bit
Bit rate 192kbps

How do i get an output of 24-bit with 5.1 channels?

Thank you,
savagcl

mp3 is only 2 channel, unless using mp3 surround (but nothing supports that)

Ok, thanks Spoon.

So, Is the 5.1 channel dependent on the sound card or what?
Is there a different output format required for 5.1?
What DSP Effects\Actions are needed to get 5.1 @24 bits?

About the 24 bit - I can see the wav files showing 24 bit but
still @ 2 channel.

Thanks,
savagcl

mp3 does not support 5.1
