Audio Jacks:
The 5.1/7.1 surround cable adds additional three
audio jacks to the three onboard audio jacks. 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 configuration, if a
Rear speaker is plugged into the default Center/
Subwoofer speaker out jack, you can retask the
Center/Subwoofer speaker out jack to be Rear
speaker out.
• To install a microphone, connect your microphone to the Mic in or Line in jack and
manually configure the jack for microphone functionality.
• Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultaneously.
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 Definition 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.
B. Configuring Speakers:
(The following instructions use Windows Vista as the example operating system.)
Step 1:
After installing the audio driver, the HD Audio Manager
icon will appear in the notification area. Double-
click the icon to access the HD Audio Manager.
Before installing the audio driver, make sure the "Microsoft UAA Bus driver for High Definition
Audio" has been installed from the motherboard driver disk and your operating system has
been updated with the latest Service Pack for Windows.
