Adjusting the BIOS setting

In order for the module to be recognized by the basic module CX20x3, the Audio IOs option must be set to Max SoundWire/MinHDA in the BIOS under AMD CBS > NBIO Common Options.

Two inputs LINE IN (X200) and MIC IN (X201) are available. In addition, four outputs are available, LINE OUT (X202), CEN/LFE OUT (X203), SURR OUT (X204) and a Toslink output SPDIF OUT (X205) for digital signals. Up to 7.1 multi-channel audio can be used.

The jack sockets have a size of 3.5 mm and are designed for jack plugs. Headphones with a maximum output of 200 mW can also be connected to the LINE OUT output (x202). The audio interfaces are accessed via the operating system. By default, the audio interface operates in stereo mode. This means stereo inputs and outputs and an 1-channel input for the microphone.

The left channel is transferred via the tip of the jack plug, the right channel via the first ring. The remainder of the sleeve is used for grounding.
