EVGA H370 Stinger (111-CS-E371)
The "i" located at the bottom right of the
Manager is an information button. Clicking
on this will provide DirectX information, the
CODEC and Language selection options.
The main page defaults to the first audio
device it detects; device response time to the
controller can vary, so the order listed here
may not be the order ALL components are
detected. The Manager will generally only
show devices detected by the motherboard.
For purposes of this guide, speakers, a
microphone, and a TOSLINK digital audio cable are connected. As a result, the
Manager detects the Digital Output first. You should also see a "Digital Output
(Optical)" at the top. This shares all the same options as "Digital Output;" the
difference is strictly connection type.
In the "Default Format"
section, there are a couple
basic selections of "CD
Quality" and "DVD
Quality," which allow you
to select optimized presets
based on standards of
how the media is recorded
and written to a disk for
those formats. Use the
pulldown menu if you
prefer to set the bit-rate
and frequency yourself.
All audio devices shown
will have a Default
Format section. Adjusting
the frequency too low will
heavily reduce audio quality, moving it too high can impact overall performance and
cause other anomalies.
To the right of the pulldown is the Restore Defaults button, shown by an eraser icon,
which will reset any changes made to the default of the controller.
