5-2 Configuring Audio Input and Output
High Definition Audio (HD Audio)
HD Audio includes multiple high quality digital-to-analog converters (DACs). HD Audio features multistreaming
capabilities that allow multiple audio streams (in and out) to be simultaneously processed. For example, users can
listen to MP3 music, have an Internet chat, make a telephone call over the Internet, and etc. all at the same time.
A. Configuring Speakers
(The following instructions use Windows 7 as the example operating system.)
5-2-1 Configuring 2/4/5.1/7.1-Channel Audio
The motherboard provides six audio jacks on the back
panel which support 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
(Note)
audio.
The picture to the right shows the default audio jack
assignments.
The integrated HD (High Definition) audio provides jack
retasking capability that allows the user to change the
function for each jack through the audio driver.
For example, in a 4-channel audio configuration, if
a Rear speaker is plugged into the default Center/Subwoofer speaker out jack, you can retask the Center/
Subwoofer speaker out jack to be Rear speaker out.

To install a microphone, connect your microphone to the Mic in jack and manually configure the
jack for microphone functionality.

Audio signals will be present on both of the front and back panel audio connections simultaneously.
If you want to mute the back panel audio (only supported when using an HD front panel audio
