Auricon 2.2+ Manual
Topology
The Auricon 2.2+ topology is shown in the diagrams at the end of this manual.
The playback topology consists of a master output level, mute control and peak meter, and
input monitor level and mute controls for each of the line inputs. To these the kernel mixer adds
virtual level and mute controls for wave, synthesizer and CD outputs.
The record topology consists of a master input level, mute control and peak meter, line input
level controls for each of the physical inputs and a digital loopback level control and mute.
The digital loopback allows the output of the card to be digitally mixed back into the input. This
function is muted when Windows’ Digital Rights Management detects that protected audio is
being played, in accordance with Microsoft’s specifications.
Note:
Under Windows 8, 7, Vista
and corresponding server versions, the loopback endpoint is disabled by default. See the
section on Windows 8, 7, Vista and Server 2012, 2008-R2 and 2008 above for instructions on
how to enable it.
The range on the input and output master controls is -96dB to +6dB, while the individual line
controls range from -96dB to 0dB. Note that, for reasons known only to Microsoft, on Windows 7
and Vista Service Pack 1 the 0dB setting on the playback Master Volume control is 67, while on
Windows 8 it is 75.
To access the playback and record mixer controls on Windows XP, Server 2003 and earlier,
double-click on the loudspeaker symbol at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. On
Windows Vista and later, right-click on the loudspeaker symbol, select Playback Devices or
Recording Devices, select the desired endpoint, click on Properties, and then click on the
Levels tab.
