On the AdderLink Gold XR unit, the computers can conveniently be selected using a three button mouse or IntelliMouse.

3.8 Stereo audio support on the AdderLink Gold

You may connect stereo speakers to both the AdderLink Gold XL unit and the AdderLink Gold XR unit. Audio from the computer connected to the XL unit is broadcasted to the speakers attached to the XL unit and to the XR unit. The speakers on the XR unit will output the audio signal from the XL unit if the remote computer (1) is selected or the audio from the computer connected to the XR unit if the local computer (2) is selected.

The AdderLink transfers the audio speaker signals between the XL and XR units by multiplexing the audio signals onto the video signals. A small degree of audio noise is introduced by this process. The effect of this noise may be reduced by the following actions:

Set the speaker output volume on the PC connected to the XL unit to the highest setting available.

Adjust speaker volume control knob away from the maximum setting.

Do not boost the audio BASS signal if this can be avoided.

The AdderLink is designed to carry audio signals with a maximum peak-to-peak voltage of 5 volts. This is suitable for most PC audio outputs. If you are sending
