The Sound playback control sets the hardware device that controls audio signal pro- cessing. By default, the system is set to use the Realtek AC97 Audio chipset built into the motherboard. However, if any external audio device or card is added to drive audio processing, then it is possible to select the device from this menu.

Sound playback displays two important controls for fine-tuning the hardware audio device controller.
