capability supported by HD Audio allows users to

you can change the center/subwoofer speaker out jack

software.
Please follow the steps to install the function. (Following pictures are in Windows XP)

microphone to work correctly.
HD Audio
With multiple built-in high quality digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that support audio output at up to 192
kHz/24-bit quality and multi-streaming applications, HD Audio is able to handle multiple audio streams (in
and out) simultaneously. Multi-channel audio experiences have become a reality so you can, for instance,
listen to MP3 music, have an Internet chat, make a telephone call over the Internet, and etc. all at the same
time.
Stereo Speakers Connection and Settings:
We recommend that you use the speaker with amplifier to acquire the best sound effect if the stereo output
is applied.
