Digital Audio Input Connections - Asus Xonar Essence STU User Manual

NOTES:
• The PC's previous audio output device should now be temporarily disabled
and the Xonar Essence STU becomes the default audio playback device for
the PC/NB. This can be confirmed in the Control Panel's Sounds, Speech and
Audio Devices properties window under the Volume tab.
• If you wish to disconnect your Xonar Essence STU and return to using
your previous soundcard, etc., simply disconnect it or switch off the power
on the front panel. If the PC fails to disable the Xonar Essence STU and
automatically re-enable your default soundcard, you can manually disable the
Xonar Essence STU in the hardware device manager. To do this, navigate to
the Device Manager (click Start — Control Panel — (Vista: Performance and
Maintenance —) System — Hardware— Device Manager in Windows XP).
Scroll down the device manager window and expand the heading Sound,
Video and Game Controllers to display a list of the connected devices. Click
on this description to highlight in blue and then click on the Disable icon at
the top of the window. A warning message will appear: "Disabling this device
will cause it to stop functioning. Do you really want to disable it?" Click Yes to
disable the Xonar Essence STU. The previous audio playback device will now
be re-instated by Windows.
