NOTES: • The PC's previous audio output device should now be temporarily disabled and the Essence One Series becomes the default audio playback device for the PC/NB. This can be confirmed in the Control Panel's Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices properties window under the Volume tab. • If you wish to disconnect your Essence One Series and return to using your previous soundcard, etc., simply disconnect it or switch off the power on the front panel. If the PC fails to disable the Essence One Series and automatically re-enable your default soundcard, you can manually disable the Essence One Series in the hardware device manager. To do this, navigate to the Device Manager (click Start - Control Panel - (Vista: Performance and Maintenance -) System - Hardware- Device Manager in Windows XP). Scroll down the device manager window and expand the heading Sound, Video and Game Controllers to display a list of the connected devices. The Essence One Series will be listed as "ASUS Essence One Series". Click on this description to highlight in blue and then click on the Disable icon at the top of the window. A warning message will appear: "Disabling this device will cause it to stop functioning. Do you really want to disable it?" Click Yes to disable the Essence One Series. The previous audio playback device will now be reinstated by Windows. 2.
