Windows “Master” (Playback) Mixer

The Master mixer is the default mixer and appears each time you open the

Windows volume control. The Master mixer provides control over the play-

back volume and balance for each DMAN PCI audio source:

• Master – This is the board’s master volume/balance; it controls the overall

level at the board’s Line Out jack.

• Wave – This sets the output level/balance from the board’s D/A converter.

• Synthesis – This sets the output level/balance of the onboard synthesizer.

• DaughterBd – This sets the output level/balance of the daughterboard syn-

thesizer if a daughterboard is installed.

• Compact Disc – This sets the output level/balance of the audio coming

from your CD-ROM, if connected to the board.

• Line In – This sets the output level/balance of the Line Input. This control

may be used to monitor the Line In signal during full-duplex

recording/playback.

To adjust volume levels and balances, simply click and drag the desired con-

trols with your mouse. Note that each device also has a “Mute” control. When
