Connecting to a TV tuner card
If you have a traditional PCI TV tuner card on your computer, you may need to
connect it to the Xonar Essence ST card to send the tuner card’s sound to your PC
speakers.
To connect to a TV tuner card:
1. Secure the PCI TV tuner card into the rear panel with a screw.
2. Connect the audio output header from the TV tuner card to the Aux-In header
of the audio card.
For optimum TV audio quality, Xonar HDAV uses ADC recording to digitize the
signal and loops it back to DAC playback. Select Aux-In as the recording source
in the Xonar Essence ST Center’s recording mixer and enable the monitoring
button to pass this signal to the audio output. Using this setup, you can even
turn on sound effects such as Pro-Logic IIx to expand the stereo TV audio to 5.1
or 7.1 channel surround sound. This gives you a better TV audio quality on your
computer compared to that on your TV.
5. Connect the power cable of your power supply unit (PSU) to the power
connector of the audio card.
Ensure that the power cable is connected properly. Otherwise, the audio card
will not work.
6. Replace the chassis cover.
7
Plug the computer’s power cord into a power outlet.
8. Turn on your computer.
