MediaForte SF256-PCP, User Manual

Page: 33 / 44

Refer Chapter 2 Setting Up SF256-PCP Sound Board to
check on the speakers connection.
3. To eliminate the possibility of a bad cable, try plugging a
pair of high impedance headphones to the SF256-PCP PCI
sound card's Front Speaker jack or Rear Speaker jack and
see if you can hear any sound.
My speakers system has no problem, but there is no
Audio output when playing digital files such as WAV,
MIDI files or AVI clips.
Check through the following possible causes:
1. You may be using a pair of passive speaker. This sound card
does not work on passive speakers. You need to use active
speakers or external powered speakers.
2. The external amplifier speakers' volume control knob is at
minimum. Turn your external powered speakers' volume
control knob to mid-range.
3. The external amplifier speakers maybe connected to the
wrong jack. You need to check and ensure that they not
connected to Line-In jack or Mic jack or Antenna jack (on
model SF256-PCP-R).
4. You may have connected your external powered speakers to
the Rear Speakers jack and have selected dual speaker
mode in the Q3D control panel. Remove the jack and
connect it to the Front Speaker jack and unmute the Front
speaker volume and Master Volume.
5. There could be a hardware resources conflict. Refer to the
section on "Resolving I/O Resource conflicts".
