Player controls. Your computer’s operating system sums the outputs of these con-
trols; their sum is the WAVE signal applied to the WAVE inputs in the OPTIMOD-PC

To ensure correct calibration of the OPTIMOD-PC I/O Mixer WAVE Input, set the
Windows Mixer WAVE control to full-scale. There are certain applications (at this
writing, RealPlayer® is one of them) whose dedicated volume controls operate by
resetting the Windows Mixer WAVE control. If the WAVE level in the OPTIMOD-PC
mixer seems unexpectedly low, check the setting of the Windows Mixer WAVE con-
trol to ensure that it is still at full scale and that another application has not

Because OPTIMOD-PC supports the Windows Mixer API, Windows makes the controls
associated with OPTIMOD-PC available in the MS Mixer Input and Output pages. If
you wish to adjust these controls manually, it is usually better to use the Optimod-PC
Application to do so. However, because the MS Recording and Input Mixers can be
