User's Manual
Question:
What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?
Answer:
The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs
that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the
CD and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include
chipset drivers for Windows and security and audio drivers.
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary
power on/off switch?
Answer:
The instant power off function is controlled in the BIOS by the
Power Button Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the moth-
erboard will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of
the system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the
BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first screen that
appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must
be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature
is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard.
Question: How do I utilize the six-channel sound?
Answer:
The six-channel sound available on the P8SAA can be enabled
with the audio driver software that was included in your motherboard pack-
age. When activated, sound will be routed through the jacks under the
Game Port as follows: Line Out = front L&R speakers, Line In = rear L&R
speakers, MIC = center and subwoofer speakers. You must also enable
the "AC97 Audio" setting in the Advanced Chipset section of the BIOS
setup.
Question: I installed my microphone correctly but I can't record any
sound. What should I do?
Answer:
Go to <Start>, <Programs>, <Accessories>, <Entertainment> and
then <Volume Control>. Under the Properties tab, scroll down the list of
devices in the menu and check the box beside "Microphone".
