Sound Card Specific Settings

The sound card specific settings are sound card dependent. On some sound cards you may set Treble and Bass, 3-D sound and other settings, but for other sound cards no such settings are supported. In that case all settings will be ghosted as shown in the figure above.

If your sound card has such special settings, it is likely that they will influence the result of your MLS measurements. Therefore, WinMLS will extract these settings and allow you to set them. These settings will be saved in the measurement setup file as the other measurement settings. This way you are sure to have exactly the same settings each time you do a measurement.

The output tone controls Treble and Bass found on the left side of the figure above can be set to a number from 0 to 100. This setting will greatly affect the frequency response of your sound card. You may use this as an equalizer to boost either the high or the low frequency region.

If any of the Other settings are supported, they will be listed and turned off as default. You may turn them on by checking them. We recommend that you do not check the controls unless you know exactly what the control does. For more information about this, consult your sound card hardware documentation. A way of testing it would be to compare a measurement with the control turned off with a measurement with the control turned on.

Note that it is possible that a sound card has settings that is not displayed in the Sound card specific settings, e.g. the Digigram sound cards volume settings Advanced Input and Advanced Output.
