3.2 Vocal POST Messages

This motherboard includes the Winbond speech controller to support a

special feature called the ASUS POST Reporter™. This feature gives you

vocal POST messages and alerts to inform you of system events and boot

status. In case of a boot failure, you will hear the specific cause of the

problem.

These POST messages are customizable using the Winbond Voice Editor

software that came with your package. You can record your own

messages to replace the default messages.

Following is a list of the default POST messages and their corresponding

actions, if any.
