* When connecting your computer with a sound module, use only a cable which is designed for the 

model of computer you are using and its particular kind of connector.

* If the sound module has a COMPUTER switch, make sure it is set to the appropriate position. The 

correct position will vary depending on the type of computer, the way you are connecting with it, and 
the requirements of the software you are using.
