Note: Because of the high bandwidth requirements of computer-gener-
ated audio, older computers may experience audio dropouts while you
perform other operations. If you experience dropouts, select your computer’s sound card.
Using the “Audio Output Device” drop list in the “General” setup window
(Figure 6), you can select where you want to send the Wave/PC
audio output. If you are using the original serial connection, select your
computer's sound card. If you are using a USB connection, you can
either select your computer's USB port or sound card.

Audio Settings
When your system volume setting changes
When you installed the new Wave/PC
bration was automatically performed. This calibration matched the relative volume level of the computer-generated audio with the audio
volume of the Wave/PC
TM
system unit. If you change the volume level on
your computer (such as in the Task bar) outside of the Wave/PC
tem application, these volume levels no longer match.
If the volume levels are unmatched, the next time you open the Wave/PC
system application a dialog box appears (Figure 7) giving you the following
options:
• “Set PC volume controls to calibrated values”: Resets the volume
controls to the settings obtained from the last automatic volume calibration.
• “Leave controls alone”: Leaves the volume levels in the current uncali-
brated setting.
• “Do not prompt me about changes to PC volume”: Stops the system
from prompting you when it detects that volume levels do not match.
