3.3 ASUS POST Reporter™

This motherboard includes the Winbond speech controller to support a

special feature called the ASUS POST Reporter™. This feature lets you hear

vocal messages during POST that alerts you of system events and boot

status. In case of a boot failure, you will hear the specific cause of the

problem.

These POST messages are customizable using the Winbond Voice Editor

software that came with your package. You can record your own messages

to replace the default messages.
