Using Hardware Accelerated Voice Chat

If you are going to use the EVGA Killer Xeno Pro’s built in hardware voice chat, you will need to connect the
included audio input/outputs correctly. There are two options for doing this, and internal, or external cable.
NOTE: You only need to use one of the below two options.

2. Connect the other end of the audio cable to the input labeled “AUX” or “CD” on your motherboard
(if using onboard audio) or your soundcard (if using a dedicated sound card).

3. If you do not have a four-pin audio connector available on your motherboard or sound card,
follow the directions below for External Cable.

External Cable:

1. Connect the external audio cable to the LINE OUT jack on the EVGA Killer Xeno Pro bracket.

Internal Cable:

1. Connect the four-pin audio cable to the four-pin socket near the top of the EVGA Killer Xeno Pro card.
