3.3.5.3. Advanced Tab
Your new soundcard has two digital input lines. They are located on top of the soundcard and can
be accessed from inside the computer box. They are designed to be connected to your CD ROM
and/ or DVD ROM drives. The audio signal fed to these inputs can be recorded and monitored on
your speakers.
The following controls are on the Advanced tab. See Figure 18.
3.3.5.3.1 Microphone Boost
The Microphone Boost button provides extra amplification for weak microphone signals. If
distortion occurs, turn Boost off.
3.3.5.3.2 S/PDIF Capture
This button enables recording from one of the digital input lines. If you select S/PDIF Capture to
be the source for recording the Recording sub tab of the Mixer becomes unavailable.
Note:
S/PDIF input recording is limited to 44.1 KHz, 16-bit stereo and 48 KHz 16-bit stereo. Any other recording
formats may produce unpredictable results.
3.3.5.3.3 Select S/PDIF-In to Digital or Analog Out
These two options allow you to enable monitoring the input digital signal that is being captured to
either your digital or analog speakers. You can select the type of output mode on the Setup tab.
