Selecting the USBPre in Windows

The USBPre communicates with the Windows operating system and audio software through Windows USB audio drivers. Software applications that communicate with Windows audio can use the USBPre for recording and playback. The USBPre functions as a very powerful outboard sound card.

With most computer systems the USBPre becomes the default audio input and output device upon connection to the computer. Depending on your system's configuration, it may be required to manually select the connected USBPre as the audio device:

  1. Follow the path Start>Settings>Control Panel>Multimedia. (In Windows ME and Windows 2000, select path Start>Settings>Control Panel>Sounds & Multimedia.
  2. In Multimedia Properties, select the Audio tab.
  3. Pull down the menu for Playback devices and select the USBPre Interface (it may be named differently if renamed).
  4. Pull down the menu for Recording devices and select the USBPre Interface (it may be named differently if renamed).

Note: Do not plug or unplug the USBPre when actively recording or playing through the USBPre. The application and the operating system may become unstable. Unplug the USBPre only after exiting out of audio software.
