Starting Up - Alienware MJ-12 X2 User Manual

6.1 Starting up

The Alienware X2 motherboard features onboard Intel Audio with support for 5.1
speaker configuration. This speaker configuration and other advanced sound settings
can be configured through the SoundMAX Control Panel. This chapter will explain how
to use this control panel.
The SoundMAX Control Panel is installed on the system when the onboard sound driver
is installed. Once the installation is complete, and the computer has been rebooted
(installation setup will prompt for a necessary reboot), there are three ways in which the
control panel can be loaded.
1. Start menu
Open the start menu and go to All Programs>SoundMAX>SoundMAX Control
Panel.
2. Tray icon
After the driver is installed the SoundMAX icon is added to your system tray. The
quick launch menu can be accessed when this icon is right-clicked.
Click on the SoundMAX Control Panel (the first one on the list).
3. Control panel
Besides an icon on the system tray, another icon is added to the control panel.
When double-clicked, the SoundMAX Control Panel is opened.
