Sonica Theater and the Windows Sound System
The Sonica Theater’s Windows Multimedia drivers will allow you to use the
Sonica Theater as your Windows system sound device. If the Sonica
Theater is the only audio device installed in your computer, then Windows
will “select” it automatically. Otherwise, you may need to tell Windows to
use the Sonica Theater. To check your Windows Audio setting and select
the Sonica Theater:
1. Go to the Start menu, and then choose Control Panel.
2. Open “Sounds and Audio Devices,” then click the “Audio” tab.
3. Under “Sound Playback,” the default device should say “Sonica Theater.”
If it does not say Sonica Theater, then drop down the list of devices and
select “Sonica Theater.”
4. Click “Apply,” then click “Okay.” Close your Control Panel—you’re done!
