2.2. Installing the New Soundcard
Follow these steps to install the Sonic Edge card (Figure 4).
•
Remove the Sonic Edge Soundcard from the anti-static bag.
•
Align your soundcard with the selected PCI bus slot and firmly push it into the slot. Be sure
the soundcard is aligned properly and fits snugly into the slot.
•
Connect the cable to the CD-In connector on top edge of the card (Figure 5). There are two
analog connectors (CD In, and Aux In). You can connect the analog lines from CD ROM or
DVD ROM drive to any one of these inputs. There are also two digital input lines (S/PDIF IN).
Any standard S/PDIF output line can be connected to any one of these two inputs. If your CD
player has an S/PDIF output line, it is perfectly all right to connect both the analog and the
digital outputs of a CD ROM player to the appropriate input. You can select from the Mixer
Panel which one to be used as the sound source. The S/PDIF cable is not included in the
package.
•
Use the screw from the slot cover to secure the soundcard to the frame of the computer
chassis.
Put the cover back on the PC and connect the power cord and all the required peripherals to the
computer.
