Hardware Installation
Note:
The functions of these audio jacks will change to support 6-
channel audio output only after you have installed the audio
driver and set the appropriate configuration.
Front Audio
The front audio connector (J1) allows you to connect to the
line-out and mic-in jacks that are at the front panel of your sys-
tem. Using this connector will disable the rear audio’s line-out
and mic-in functions.
Remove the jumper caps from pins 5-6 and pins 9-10 of J1 prior
to connecting the front audio cable connector. Make sure pin 1
of the cable connector is aligned with pin 1 of J1. If you are not
using this connector, make sure to replace the jumper caps back
to their original pin locations.

Driver Installation
Install the “Audio Drivers”. An audio software application pro-
gram will at the same time be installed into your system. This
program will allow you to configure 2-channel, 4-channel and 6-
channel audio modes as well as configure the audio effects.
When the rear audio supports 6-channel, the mic-in jack will be
disabled. Use the front audio’s mic-in function. Refer to chapter 4
for more information.
