SoundMAX control panel

The SoundMAX control panel lets you control additional functions for the

Microphone Enhancement and Audio Power Management. To launch the

SoundMAX Control Panel, follow the steps below.
1. Click start and click Control Panel.
2. If you are viewing the Control Panel in Category View, click on Switch

to Classic View.

The Microphone Setup allows you to optimize the microphone input

settings for your particular configuration. Choose Standard Microphone if

you have an ordinary desktop microphone. Choose Headset if you have a

wearable microphone that is positioned directly in front of your mouth.
You can launch the Setup Wizard from the Control Panel to help you to

automatically set proper microphone input volumes and ensure that your

voice input(s) are working correctly. As you speak into the microphone, the

Sound Meter indicates the audio signal that your computer is receiving.
The Noise Reduction enhancement helps to eliminate ambient noise from

the voice input signal to provide a clean and clear signal to applications.

This feature can be used with any microphone.
The audio controller can be powered down when the audio function is idle.

To enable the Audio Power Management, follow the steps below.
