2.1 Card Installation
Before you proceed with the following installation steps, it’s recommended that you
disable your onboard audio device in your BIOS settings, or uninstall any other sound
cards on your PC. (For BIOS setting or uninstallation of other sound cards, please refer

1. Power OFF the computer, the monitor,
and all other peripheral devices
connected to your computer.
2. Unplug the computer power cord from
your computer and power outlet.
3. Touch the metal back or side panel of
the computer to avoid static electricity.
4. Remove the chassis cover.
5. Remove the metal bracket from
an available PCIE slot for the Xonar
Phoebus audio card.
6. Carefully insert the audio card into the PCIE slot. Ensure the audio card sits
properly in place.
Do not force the audio card into the slot. Make sure that the gold pins of the card’s
PCI Express connector are aligned with the motherboard’s PCI Express connector

2.1.2 Connecting the TV Tuner Card
If you have a traditional PCI or PCI Express TV tuner card on your computer, you may
need to connect it to the audio card to send the tuner card’s sound to your computer’s
speakers.
1. Secure the PCI/PCI Express TV tuner card and screw it into the back panel.
2. Connect the audio output header from the TV tuner card to the Aux-In header of
the audio card, as shown in the gure below.
For optimum TV audio quality, Xonar uses ADC recording to digitize the signal and
loops it back to DAC playback. Please select Aux-In as the recording source in the
Xonar Audio Center’s recording mixer and enable the monitoring button to pass this
signal to the audio output. Using this setup, you can even turn on sound eects such
as Pro-Logic IIx to expand the stereo TV audio to 5.1 or 7.1 channel surround sound.
TV audio on your PC will become even better than on your TV set!
