5.3.4 ASUS Music Alarm
This motherboard is equipped with an audio alarm clock called ASUS Music Alarm.
The ASUS Music Alarm gives you a personal wake-up called with your favorite CD
music when the system is off. The onboard audio CODEC supports this feature,
which requires an optical drive (CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM).
• Make sure that the power cord is plugged to a grounded power source so
that the system has standby power.
• ASUS Music Alarm only supports audio CDs.
• ASUS Music Alarm will not work if you installed and enabled an add-on
sound card.
• Only IDE ATAPI devices from the Southbridge support this feature.
