Supported Software

Note:

With the 6-channel mode supported using software, both the
line-in and mic-jacks at the rear panel will instead function as
line-out. Therefore you can connect your speakers to these jacks
(line-out, line-in and mic-in) for 6-channel audio output. Under
such circumstance, line-in will not be supported. Mic-in on the
other hand is supported by using the Front Audio connector on
the system board.

Please refer to the C-Media User’s Manual included in the CD for
more detail information.
