Onboard Sound Devices
C-Media Audio playback - Set the Shakti Volume Control to 60%
The C-Media playback is usually (always?) on-board sound. If you have
one of these, your sound plugs on the back of your computer won't be on a card, but will be near the other ports.
You cannot replace your sound card in this case, but you can add another card, and select your new one as the default
sound device using 'multimedia' in the control panel.
Laptop Sound Cards

XpressAudio 16-bit - Set the Shakti Volume Control to 25 % -
Does not support loopback. Good low-frequency response. Set the Shakti Volume Control to 2.5% -or- Two and One
Half Percent with
bass to the maximum
ISA (Legacy) Sound Devices
Sound Blaster AWE 64 - Set the Shakti Volume Control to 4% Has treble/bass control
Yamaha Audio (ISA) - You must set the wave balance for the windows sound control panel to the maximum setting (
100%) and adjust the master control to 7% using the meter in this software. That means you must open BOTH to do
the job. Has Treble/Bass. This sound card has an unusual configuration.
The wave slider in the Shakti meter controls the MIDI volume instead of the wave balance, so don't use it for this card.
