3.3.1 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.
