Q4. I cannot hear any sound from the S/PDIF output.
1. Check that you have enabled S/PDIF output in the Audio Center GUI.
2. Check that you connected the correct S/PDIF output port on the card to
the decoder’s (AV receiver) S/PDIF input port.
3. You may need to select the correct input and mode of your decoder or
AV receiver.
4. If you are using 96KHz PCM output, make sure your decoder can
support 96KHz decoding. Change the PCM output to 44.1K or 48KHz to
check if your output device supports a lower value.
Q5. I cannot hear audio input (Mic, Line-in, AUX, etc.) from my speakers.
1. On the mixer recording page in the Audio Center, select the correct
input as the recording source. If you are using Windows Vista, open the
system audio control panel to check if the current recording/input device
is correct.
2. Remember to turn on the digital monitoring button for that recording
source.
Q6. I cannot hear the TV tuner audio from my speakers.
1. If you are using a TV tuner card with an analog audio output, connect
the analog audio output to the Aux-In header on the audio card.
2. Select Aux-In as the recording source and on the digital monitoring
button on the recording mixer page.
3. If you are using a TV tuner card with a digital audio output, check
that the sound is not set to mute and whether other applications can
playback sound. If you still have a problem hearing audio, refer to the
TV tuner card’s user guide.
