Mounting The Volume Control

Adjusting Output Level

The enclosed mounting strip is semipermanent—it holds well but can be peeled off gently. Be sure that the mounting surface, such as the computer monitor or your desktop, is smooth and clean.

In most instances, the PCWorks FourPointSurround Volume Control will be the most convenient way to adjust the overall playback level. It responds instantly and doesn’t require you to pause games or programs. But there are other output level controls present in software to consider.

Versions of Microsoft® Windows® and most other operating systems offer an on-screen sound level control, while most game pro- grams provide yet another one. For the PCWorks FourPointSurround Volume Control to perform at its best, these “software” level controls should be set to an “optimum” position and then left alone.

Set any software volume controls to approximately 75% of their maximum output level. This should allow the PCWorks Four- PointSurround Volume Control

to achieve the highest output level desired when set to its loudest setting.

If the PCWorks FourPoint- Surround’s maximum output is still not sufficient at the extreme setting of its Volume Control, try increasing one and only one of the software volume controls to increase overall output.

If you find the optimum output level of the PCWorks FourPoint- Surround system occurs at too low a setting of its volume control, reduce the setting of one software volume control (preferably the operating system’s output level control) to achieve greater control range.

Note: Some software volume controls may introduce distortion when set to their maximum level. Experiment to achieve the cleanest sound.
