7. Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effect
This motherboard comes with an ALC650 Codec which supports high quality of 5.1 Channel
audio effect, bringing you a brand new audio experience. On the strength of the innovative
design of ALC650, you're able to use standard line-jacks for surround audio output without
connecting any external module. To apply this function, you have to install the audio driver
in the Bonus Pack CD as well as an audio application supporting 5.1 Channel. Picture
bellow represents the standard location of all speakers in 5.1 Channel sound track. Please
connect the plug of your front speakers to the green “Speaker out” port, rear speakers’ plug
to the blue “Line in” port and both of the center and subwoofer speakers to the red “MIC in”
port.
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a latest audio transfer file format that provides
impressive
quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of
analog. Normally there are two S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the
most common one used for consumer audio products, and the other for optical connector
with a even better audio quality. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the
S/PDIF connector to a S/PDIF audio module bearing S/PDIF digital output. However, you
must have a S/PDIF supported speaker with S/PDIF digital input to make the most of this
function.
6. Front Audio Connector
If the housing has been designed with an audio port on the front panel, you’ll be able to
connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way, please remove the
jumper cap from the Front Audio Connector before you connect the cable. Do not remove
this yellow jumper cap if your housing doesn’t have an audio port on the front panel.
Many viruses have been found that may destroy bios code and data area lately. This
motherboard implements a very effective hardware protection method without any
software or BIOS coding involved, therefore it is 100% virus free. You may restore the
originally mounted BIOS with 2
nd
BIOS ROM by setting JP30 to pin 2-3 if it fails to act
normally. This motherboard comes with one BIOS ROM, you may contact our local
distributors or resellers for purchasing an extra BIOS ROM.
