DO NOT SEND NEGATIVE VOLTAGES INTO THE 6811, you will destroy the
analog input circuit. Any voltage outside of the 0 to 5 v range is
hazardous, unless it is current-limited to a few milliamps.

Are you sure about this? On page 49 of my copy, it states pretty
clearly that the input range is 0 to 5 v.
So anyhow you need a circuit to convert your desired input range to
the 0 to 5v range. If your application is audio, you could just
rectify the signal to ignore the negative component.
