Audio Configuration File

It can be difficult to adjust the various variables within the audio device to be able to produce reasonable quality audio.

An audio configuration file has been saved from the CQU AG-Rockhampton node which may assist with getting the levels to an acceptable initial level. Further tweaking may be required, but this audio configuration will provide a good foundation for your audio settings.
