SHORT ANSWER

1. Explain the options needed for good sound.

ANS:
The number and type of sound ports on a motherboard or sound card depend on the sound standards
the card or board supports. For good sound, you definitely need two or more external speakers and an
amplifier. Most cards sold today support the audio compression methods also used by HDTV
(high-definition TV). Popular methods include several variations and overlapping standards of Dolby
TrueHD, Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3), and Dolby surround sound. TrueHD and Dolby Digital
use and build on the surround sound technologies. Three popular variations of surround sound are 5.1,
7.1, and 9.1. The 9.1 surround standard can support up to 10 separate sound channels of sound
information for up to 10 different speakers, each producing a different sound. These speakers are
known as front left and right, front center, rear left and right, subwoofer, two additional rear speakers,
and two additional front speakers mounted high above the main left and right front speakers. (Very
few systems use all these speakers.) The 5.1 standard uses six speakers, while the 7.1 standard uses
eight. Because each channel is digital, there is no background noise on the channel, and a sound
engineer can place sound on any one of these speakers.

PTS: 1 REF: 474-475

2. Describe TV tuner and video capture cards.

ANS:
A TV tuner card can turn your computer into a television. A port on the card receives input from a TV
cable and lets you view television on your computer monitor. If the TV signal is analog, the TV tuner
card can convert it to digital. A video capture card lets you capture this video input and save it to a file
on your hard drive. Some cards are a combination TV tuner card and video capture card, making it
possible for you to receive television input and save that input to your hard drive. A high-end TV
tuner/video capture card might also serve as your video card. Also, some motherboards and notebook
computers have onboard TV tuners and TV captures.

PTS: 1 REF: 476

3. Discuss the input and output ports that a video capture card offers.

ANS:
A card might have video input/output ports such as an S-Video or composite-out video port (also
might be called an RCA port).

A FireWire input/output port can be used to receive data from a video camera and possibly output data
back to the camera. Make sure the card has the input port your video camera uses.
 For live camera input such as used by security cameras, a card might have multiple BNC connectors
(round connectors used by coaxial cable) to receive simultaneous input from three or four security
cameras.

A capture card might have one or more audio input ports, which might be called RCA ports.

If the card is also a video card, it will have a VGA analog port or a DVI port for a monitor.

Because of the many ports a card might support, it might use a breakout box. The box provides
multiple ports and connects to the card using a short cable.

PTS: 1 REF: 478

4. List four things to look for in a TV tuner card.

ANS:
Ability to do instant replay and program scheduling.

Input ports for coaxial cable TV, TV antenna, video equipment, and game boxes.

Ability to handle analog and digital (including HDTV) input signals.

TV or VCR port for output.

Remote control, so you can flip TV channels from across the room.

PTS: 1 REF: 478

5. Describe CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs.

ANS:
CDs and DVDs are popular storage media for multimedia data, and CDs are the most popular way of
distributing software. Both DVD and CD technologies use patterns of tiny lands and pits on the surface
of a disc to represent bits, which a laser beam can then read. This is why they are called optical storage
technologies. CD (compact disc) drives use the CDFS (Compact Disc File System) or the UDF
(Universal Disk Format) file system, while DVD (digital versatile disc or digital video disc) drives use
the newer UDF file system. The latest optical storage technology is Blu-ray Disc (BD), which uses the
UDF version 2.5 file system. HD DVD is an optical storage technology that, at one time, competed
with Blu-ray, but is now obsolete.

Blu-ray drives are backward compatible with DVD and CD technologies. Depending on the drive
features, a Blu-ray drive might be able to read and write to BDs, DVD, and CDs. DVD drives can
handle both DVDs and CDs. A CD drive cannot handle DVDs or BDs. An internal optical drive can
interface with the motherboard by way of a PATA or SATA connection. An external drive might use
an eSATA, FireWire, SCSI, or USB port.

PTS: 1 REF: 480

6. Discuss the biggest disadvantage of using tape drives.

ANS:
 The biggest disadvantage of using tape drives is that data is stored on tape by sequential access; to read
data from anywhere on the tape, you must start at the beginning of the tape and read until you come to
the sought-after data. Sequential access makes recovering files slow and inconvenient, which is why
tapes are not used for general-purpose data storage.

PTS: 1 REF: 495

7. List and describe four ways to connect a musical instrument to a PC using the MIDI standards.

ANS:
MIDI to MIDI: A few sound cards provide MIDI ports. Use two MIDI cables to connect output jack to
input jack and to connect input jack to output jack.

MIDI to USB: If your PC does not have MIDI ports, you can use a MIDI-to-USB cable. The two MIDI
connectors on the cable are for input and output.

USB to USB: Newer instruments have a USB port to interface with a PC using MIDI data
transmissions.

USB to MIDI: A USB port on an instrument can also connect to MIDI ports on a computer sound card.

PTS: 1 REF: 500-501

8. List five things to try if you have problems with an optical drive.

ANS:
Check the data cable and power cord connections to the drive. For an EIDE drive, is the stripe on the
data cable correctly aligned to pin 1? (Look for an arrow or small 1 printed on the drive. For a best
guess, pin 1 is usually next to the power connector.)

For an EIDE drive, is the correct master/slave jumper set? For example, if both the hard drive and the
CD or DVD drive are hooked to the same ribbon cable, one must be set to master and the other to
slave. If the CD or DVD drive is the only drive connected to the cable, then it should be set to single or
master.

For an EIDE drive, is the IDE connection on the motherboard disabled in BIOS setup?
If so, enable it.

Using Device Manager, verify that the drive and the IDE controller are recognized without errors and
are enabled. Rarely, the drivers for the drive or controller might need updating. To update the IDE
controller drivers, download the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer Web site. For the optical
drive, install the drivers that came on CD with the drive.

If you are using a SCSI drive, are the proper IDs set? Is the device terminated if it is the last device in
the SCSI chain? Are the correct SCSI drivers installed?

Download updates to Windows. Sometimes installing Windows patches can solve problems with
hardware.

Suspect a boot virus. This is a common problem. Download the latest updates to an antivirus program,
and then scan the system for viruses.

PTS: 1 REF: 512-513

 9. List three things to try if you have problems with removable storage devices.

ANS:
For an external hard drive, verify the data cable is solidly connected to the port. Open Device Manager
and verify the port and drive are recognized correctly with no errors. It is not normally necessary to
install drivers for an external hard drive unless you want to use backup software installed on the drive.

If Device Manager reports a problem with the port, try updating device drivers for the motherboard,
which will include USB, FireWire, and eSATA drivers.

Is the drive connected to a USB hub that needs power? Is the power cord connected to the hub?

For a USB flash drive or external hard drive, try a different port. Try the device on another computer.
If it works on another computer, return it to the original computer. Perhaps the problem was a loose
connection.

PTS: 1 REF: 514-515

10. List four things to try if you have problems with capture cards.

ANS:
Open Device Manager and verify it recognizes the card with no errors. Is the card enabled?

Verify the peripherals (microphone, speakers, camera, video cable, or TV cable) are connected to the
card and the peripherals are working.

Verify the application software that uses the card is working. Does the software give errors? Try
repairing the software using the utility that came bundled with the card. Most likely you can run the
setup program on the CD to repair the software.

Has the card ever worked? Read the documentation to make sure everything is installed correctly.
Most installations for capture cards require a couple of restarts. Try restarting the system.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the card and software. Use Device Manager to uninstall the card
device drivers. Use an uninstall routine to uninstall the application software. Then begin again and
reinstall everything, being very careful to follow installation instructions.

Try installing the card in Safe Mode. First uninstall the card and then boot the system into Safe Mode.
To boot Windows into Safe Mode, press the F8 key during startup and select Safe Mode with
Networking from the Windows Advanced Options Menu. Windows Safe Mode launches a bare-bones
hardware and software configuration. Now install the card. Next, restart the system normally and
watch for errors.

Check the Web site of the card manufacturer for troubleshooting tips. The site might offer forums,
blogs, and chat sessions with technical support.
