I cannot get the sound working on my system.

1.Check if the speaker wire is connected to the line out connector on the M/B. Make sure the SPDIF card cable isn’t connected the wrong way around.

2.Check if your speakers are powered on.

3.Install the audio driver supplied on our driver disc.

4.Check BIOS setup if “onboard audio” is enabled.

5.If sound is already installed, check our website for an audio driver update.

The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from the CD-ROM, I do not get any sound. What is wrong?

This is because the 4-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the on-board CDIN connector or AUX connector on the M/B is not connected. See manual for location of CDIN.

The sound and everything else works fine except that the line-in and/or microphone doesn’t work. What is wrong?

1.Please go to sound properties and check if the line-in and/or microphone are enabled.

2.Check if the Microphone/line-in device is ok.

3.If you use the 4-channel option and you are connection your PC (not via the SPDIF card), line–in will be disabled. Line-in works normally when using the SPDIF card for speaker connections in 4-channel mode.

Added PCI Audio Card does not work on this motherboard.

1.Go to SOYO COMBO Setup and Disable “onboard audio”.

2.Go to integrated peripherals and Disable “Game port address” and “Midi port address”
