Extra colume controls not supported by KT4V

Question

Hi
I have a KT4V M/B.I noticed that after installing the sound driver, the Windows Volume control shows many extra controls like-
Modem Speaker
Aux (Auxillary)
etc.
But the M/B does not have connectors for these in the PCB.Why ar they shown?

Answer 1

Yeah, that should work, as the CD-analogue and TV tuner outputs will be of similar level - you just have to remember that the fader labelled "CD Player" (or whatever) is the TV Tuner level.
As Piioo said, the Volume Control covers all of the audio sources that the audio chip can handle, even though some might not be connected on a particular mobo. You can turn off the unavailable channels in Properties - note that there are separate sets for Recording and Playback.
The Recording mixer is a bit strange, in that it will only allow one source to be active at a time. The benefit of this arrangement is that if you are only recording from one source, you won't get added noise from other sources that are connected but "silent". On the other hand, if you are doing a set of recordings from different devices (e.g. Line In, Midi, CD), you have to keep going back to the Recording Mixer to change the source. If you want to record from a mix of sources, you need to select the Playback mixer as the source - this might be labelled "Stereo Mixer" or "What U Hear" etc.
