2.1 Card Installation

Before you proceed with the following installation steps, it’s recommended that you

disable your onboard audio device in your BIOS settings, or uninstall any other sound

cards on your PC. (For BIOS setting or uninstallation of other sound cards, please refer

to the user manuals of your motherboard and sound card)

2.1.1 Installing the Xonar Phoebus Card

To install the Xonar Phoebus audio card:

1. Power OFF the computer, the monitor,

and all other peripheral devices

connected to your computer.

2. Unplug the computer power cord from

your computer and power outlet.

3. Touch the metal back or side panel of

the computer to avoid static electricity.

4. Remove the chassis cover.

5. Remove the metal bracket from

an available PCIE slot for the Xonar

Phoebus audio card.

6. Carefully insert the audio card into the PCIE slot. Ensure the audio card sits

properly in place.

Do not force the audio card into the slot. Make sure that the gold pins of the card’s

PCI Express connector are aligned with the motherboard’s PCI Express connector

before you insert the card into the PCI Express slot. If it does not t properly, gently

remove it and try again.

7. Secure the audio card with screws and the metal bracket.

8. Put back the chassis cover.

9. Reconnect all cables.

10. Plug the power cord to the computer and to a power outlet.

11. Power ON the computer.

The PCI Express high-quality audio card requires additional power from your

computer. If the power cable is not connected properly, the audio card will not work

at all.

2.1.2 Connecting the TV Tuner Card

If you have a traditional PCI or PCI Express TV tuner card on your computer, you may

need to connect it to the audio card to send the tuner card’s sound to your computer’s

speakers.

1. Secure the PCI/PCI Express TV tuner card and screw it into the back panel.

2. Connect the audio output header from the TV tuner card to the Aux-In header of

the audio card, as shown in the gure below.

For optimum TV audio quality, Xonar uses ADC recording to digitize the signal and

loops it back to DAC playback. Please select Aux-In as the recording source in the

Xonar Audio 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 eects such

as Pro-Logic IIx to expand the stereo TV audio to 5.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound.

TV audio on your PC will become even better than on your TV set!
