Chorus
The chorus effect will add depth to the card’s synthesizer sounds.
The three settings for chorus are Off, On, and Full.
Note: Chorus is a special effect, which should be used with discre-
tion; it is generally not recommended to leave the chorus effect en-
abled at all times.
This effect can be applied to the Synthesizer device.
Recording
Under the recording volume slider you will see checkboxes listing
all the audio sources on the system. If the box next to the corre-

You will notice that the record volume slider is grayed out and fixed

playback volume. For example, if you wanted to adjust the input
level for the wave source, you would move the wave playback slider
to the desired level. It will control both playback and record vol-
umes.

“Boost” and “Mute” checkboxes appear under the microphone head-

The “Boost” box adds a 30-dB audio gain to the microphone when
checked. Keep in mind, this is an audio gain only. If the microphone
is an electret condenser microphone that needs actual power, there
is a “Mic BIAS” checkbox located on the Settings tab of the
ENSONIQ AudioPCI™ Properties window in the device manager.
See the section entitled “Microphone BIAS” on page 20 for more
details.
Note: In Windows NT 4.0 the “Mic BIAS” checkbox is located on
the Microphone panel in the ENSONIQ Mixer.
When the microphone “Mute”
box is not checked, you will be able
to hear anything spoken into the microphone through your computer’s
speakers. With some full duplex Internet phone applications this
box should be checked to eliminate loop-back/feed-back. With
