new power supply is comprised of a standard ATX unit plus the following enhancements:
Increased +12 VDC output capability. Mother board components with unique
voltage requirements are increasingly expected to be powered via DC/DC
converters off the +12 VDC power supply output. This trend is due primarily to the
higher power conversion and transmission efficiencies of +12 VDC relative to +5
VDC or +3.3 VDC. ATX12V power supplies should be designed to accommodate
these increased +12 VDC current requirements and to address associated issues
such as cross-regulation, capacitive loading, transient surge tolerance, cable
voltage drop, and cooling.
New +12 V power connector. To enable the delivery of more +12 VDC current to the
motherboard, a new 4-pin receptacle/header combination--the + 12 V power
connector–has been defined.
The presence of the +12 V power connector
indicates that a power supply is ATX12V; the absence of the +12 V power
connector indicates that a supply is ATX.

Audio Issue
How can I disable the on-board Audio?
Go to the SOYO Combo Feature in the BIOS setup, then set the “onboard audio” to disable.
I cannot get the sound working on my system.
1. Check if the speaker wire is connected to the line out connector in the M/B.
2. Check if the speaker power is powered on.
3. Install the audio driver supplied on our driver disc.
4. Check BIOS setup if “onboard audio” is enabled.
5. If sound already installed, check our website for audio driver update.
The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from the CD-ROM, I
do not get any sound. What is wrong?
This is because the 3-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the on-board CDIN1 connector in the M/B
is not connected. See manual for location of CDIN1.
The sound and everything else works fine except that the recorder and microphone
do not work. What is wrong?
