Appendix B- Sound Card Controls
Sound card control panels and their settings can be somewhat confusing.
They are also rather inconsistent from one version of Windows to another.
The G315e receiver requires that the sound card
Wave
input is unmuted. The
volume can be then adjusted using the Wave slider and the master
Volume
Control
.
The G315i receiver does not require a sound card as the output is already a
converted analog
Line Output
. You can connect this directly to standard
amplified multimedia speakers or an external amplifier of your choice. You can
also connect it to a sound card.
If you wish to connect your G315i receiver to a sound card, you can simply use
the supplied audio cable and connect it to the Line input (alternatively to
Microphone
input, if the
Line
input is not available). The output volume is
controlled by the
Playback
volume control of the sound card.
Typically, you would access the Playback volume control panel by clicking the
speaker icon in the Windows Task Bar.
If the speaker icon is missing, an alternate way to accessing the Playback
controls is via the Windows Control Panel. Here you can also enable or
disable the speaker icon.
The table on the following page shows how to enable or disable the speaker
icon, and how to get to the playback controls from within the Windows control
panel. The methods vary depending on the version of Windows you are using.
Did you know?
The ubiquitous PC sound card was invented in Singapore by Sim Wong Hoo,
engineer and entrepreneur, who founded the Creative Technology company in
1981. His first product, an Apple computer clone, did not take off. However, his
second product, the PC sound card, hit its target well: More than 120 million
sound cards have been shipped by Creative Technology, mostly under the
Sound Blaster brand.
