Introduction
This guide is intended to help get you started quickly. In order to achieve optimal usage
of your new soundcard, we recommend that you carefully study the full manual on the
enclosed CD-ROM, before or after completing the process described in this guide.
Windows Installation
Note: You must have Direct X 9.0b installed in your system before installing the
Revolution 5.1 software. For your convenience, Direct X 9.0b is included on the
enclosed CD-ROM.
Running the Installer
Start your computer. Insert the M-AUDIO DRIVERS CD-ROM and wait a moment until it
displays the InstallShield Wizard. Follow the instructions to install the driver properly.
Installing the Card
Shut your computer down, unplug it from its power source, and insert the Revolution 5.1
PCI card into an available PCI slot. For specific instructions on how to do this, please refer
to the Revolution 5.1 Manual’s “Hardware Setup” section. Restart the computer. When the
machine finishes rebooting, a “Found New Hardware Wizard” will appear with the
recommended hardware driver settings already selected. Press “Next” and follow the
onscreen prompts to complete the driver installation.
Connecting the Speakers
The Revolution 5.1 facilitates a variety of configurations ranging from two to six speakers.
Connect the Left, Right, Center, Subwoofer, Left Surround, and Right Surround speakers
to the jacks on the Revolution 5.1. Please refer to the manual for assistance with
identifying the specific output jacks.
Testing the Installation
Play a DVD or other sur
round-enabled media to enjoy your new surround system. Open
the Revolution 5.1 Control Panel to adjust the speaker settings. If your current DVD player
cannot decode a Dolby Digital surround sound signal, install WinDVD 5 from the included
CD-ROM.
