11. 5.1 Channel Audio Effects
The motherboard is equipped with the CODEC ALC655 chip, which provides supp-
ort for 6-channel audio output, including 2 front, 2 rear, 1 center and 1 subwoofer
channel. ALC655 allows the board to attach 4 or 6 speakers for a better surround
sound effect. To apply this function, you have to install the audio driver in utility CD as
well as an audio application supporting 5.1 Channel. The illustration shown below
represents the standard location of all speakers in 5.1 Channel sound track. Connect
the front speaker to the green audio output; connect the surround sound speaker to
the blue audio input and connect the center speaker/subwoofer to the red microphone
input.
