Mounting The Volume Control

Adjusting Output Level

In most instances, the PCWorks

FourPointSurround Volume Control

will be the most convenient way to

adjust the overall playback level. It

responds instantly and doesn’t

require you to pause games or

programs. But there are other

output level controls present in

software to consider.

Versions of Microsoft

®

Windows

®

and most other operating systems

offer an on-screen sound level

control, while most game pro-

grams provide yet another one. For

the PCWorks FourPointSurround

Volume Control to perform at its

best, these “software” level

controls should be set to an

“optimum” position and then left

alone.

Set any software volume

controls to approximately 75% of

their maximum output level. This

should allow the PCWorks Four-

PointSurround Volume Control

to achieve the highest output

level desired when set to its

loudest setting.

If the PCWorks FourPoint-

Surround’s maximum output is

still not sufficient at the extreme

setting of its Volume Control, try

increasing one and only one of

the software volume controls to

increase overall output.

If you find the optimum output

level of the PCWorks FourPoint-

Surround system occurs at too low

a setting of its volume control,

reduce the setting of one software

volume control (preferably the

operating system’s output level

control) to achieve greater

control range.

Note: Some software volume

controls may introduce distortion

when set to their maximum level.

Experiment to achieve the

cleanest sound.
