4.1 Mixer Input
The mixer provides recording and playback of any audio sources or output mix of all
sources. The STAC9721/23 supports the following input sources:
• any mono or stereo source
• mono or stereo mix of all sources
• 2-channel input w/mono output reference (mic + stereo mix)
* Note: any unused input pins should be tied together and connected to ground with a
capacitor (0.1
µF suggested), except the MIC1 and MIC2 inputs which require their own
0.1
µF capacitors to ground if not used.
4.2 Mixer Output
The mixer generates two distinct outputs:
• stereo mix of all sources for output to the LINE_OUT
• stereo mix of all sources for output to the LNLVL_OUT
• mono, MIC only or mix of all sources for MONO_OUT
* Note: Mono output of stereo mix is attenuated by -6 dB to prevent clipping when left
and right channels are combined.
4.3 PC Beep Implementation
PC Beep is active on power up and defaults to an un-muted state. The user should mute
this input before using any other mixer input because the PC Beep input can contribute
noise to the LINE_OUT during normal operation.
