Plug and play installation - The Sweex PCI soundcard is ready for use immediately after the installation of the software. 
HRTF-based 3D positional audio - The C-Media chipset with which the Sweex soundcard is fitted, uses the C3D technique; this technique allows you to
experience the sound as realistic, the 3D sound effect is achieved optimally. 
Support of four channels - The Sweex PCI soundcard offers support to four channels which creates the possibility to realise so called ‘surround sound’. 
Joystick/game dual gate - The joystick/game dual gate presents the possibility to connect two joysticks via a Y-cable.

The Sweex PCI soundcard is fitted with the C-Media chipset. This chipset uses the so called ‘C3D technique’. The C3D technique is a technique that uses
an audio-filter named HRTF (Head Related Transfer Functions). The concept of the C3D technique is listening to 3D sound in a way that provokes the
illusion that you are surrounded by sound. In short: this technique optimises the 3D-sound effect, sound is experienced very realistically. 

If you want to know more about the C3D technique then you can find extensive information about this technique on the CD included in this package. 

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a communication standard for MIDI-equipment such as keyboards, synthesisers and digital
piano’s. The MIDI concept makes it possible that instruments that support the MIDI-concept can communicate easily with each other. MIDI does not
exchange digital information, but MIDI is digital data that indicates which note should come at which moment and how. This information is then passed
to all connected MIDI compatible equipment. The apparatus that receives the information is the apparatus that will transform the information received
into sound. The quality of the sound for this reason to a large extend depends on the quality of the receiver that converts the received information into
sound.

Before installing the hardware, take the following precautions:
See that your PC is turned off and that there is no mains voltage.
1. Detach the printer and monitor cable, because they have their own power supply;
2. Now screw open the computer housing;
3. After you have screwed open the computer housing, see to it that you do not have any static electricity. This can be done, amongst others, 

by touching a (white) pipe of the central heating or an unpainted water pipe. Take note that you do not use a magnetic screwdriver. 
In addition, try to touch the contact points of the PC, card of the memory as little as possible;

4. Localise a free PCI slot, remove the metal protection plate in front of the slot. It may be a problem to place the card in the PCI slot. 

If this is the case, do not force anything, but try a different free slot;

5. When the card has been placed successfully, check whether all the other cards are still correctly placed in the PCI slots. When placing a PCI card, 

the other PCI cards may sometimes slightly move upwards, which means that the card in question or even the entire PC may not function anymore;

6. Now you can place the removed cover back on the computer housing and reconnect all cables that you had detached from your PC;
7. Now restart your PC again.
