PremierSound Audio System
Your workstation features a PremierSound audio subsystem that provides sound
capabilities for increased productivity in the Microsoft Windows NT operating
environment.
The audio system allows you to integrate voice messages and music directly
into your files. Using the supplied microphone, you can record sounds as data
on the hard drive. This sound data may be used in many ways, for example; you
can enhance presentation data with voice and music.
If you choose to upgrade your audio system, you must disable the integrated
audio controller:
