5-2-1 Coniguring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio

The motherboard provides five audio jacks on the
back panel which support 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
audio. The picture to the right shows the default audio
jack assignments.
The integrated HD (High Definition) audio provides
jack retasking capability that allows the user to change
the function for each jack through the audio driver.
For example, in a 4-channel audio coniguration, if a Side speaker is plugged into the default Center/Sub-
woofer speaker out jack, you can retask the Center/Subwoofer speaker out jack to be Side speaker out.
To install a microphone, connect your microphone to the Mic in jack and manually conigure the
•
jack for microphone functionality.
•
To configure 4/5.1/7.1-channel audio, you have to retask one of the audio jacks to be Side
speaker out through the audio driver.
•
Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultane-
ously. If you want to mute the back panel audio (only supported when using an HD front panel
audio module), refer to instructions on the next page.
High Deinition Audio (HD Audio)
HD Audio includes multiple high quality digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that support 44.1KHz/48KHz/
96KHz/192KHz sampling rate. HD Audio features multistreaming capabilities that allow multiple audio
streams (in and out) to be simultaneously processed. For example, users can listen to MP3 music, have an
Internet chat, make a telephone call over the Internet, and etc. all at the same time.
