Sound Card Users Manual
EAX
Environmental Audio Extensions (EAX) by Creative Labs.
Line-In Jack
Audio-in connector on the sound card that allows you to connect to your
mini-hifi / radio / CD-ROM Player. Amplified/active speakers connected
to Line-out will output the music.
Line-Out Jack
Audio-out connector on the sound card that allows you to connect to your
amplified/active speakers. Any input to your sound card (from Line-In)
will be heard from the speakers.
Microphone Jack
Microphone connector on the sound card that allows you to connect your
microphone such that you can do voice recording or playback.
MIDI
Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is a musical communication standard
that lets you (with the help of a MIDI keyboard/guitar) instruct a sound to
play from your synthesizer.
MIDI Port
A physical interface enabling the interconnection of multimedia computers
and electronic musical instruments to record, store and play back music
performance data in the form of MIDI commands.
PCI-Bus
Peripheral Component Interconnect expansion bus connector. The PCI bus
sends/receives data 32-bits at a time, superceding the slower 16-bit ISA
(Industry Standard Architecture) expansion bus. By making use of the PCI
bus, the PCI288-Q3DII allows higher data throughput and indirectly gives
rise to faster game play.
