WINDOWS XP:

Start=>Settings => Control Panel => Sounds and Audio Devices => Audio

Choose the Sound playback and recording Default device: “USB Audio CODEC”

Or Programs =>Accessories =>Entertainment =>Volume Control=> Options=> Properties

Choose the mixer device: “USB Audio CODEC”

WINDOWS 98SE: Settings => Control Panel => Multimedia

Choose the preferred device: “USB Audio Device”

Mac OS10+: System Preferences => Sound.

Choose: “USB Audio CODEC”

Mac OS9.1+: Control Panels => Sound.

Choose: “USB Audio CODEC”

Your computer audio output “Speaker” is now set to be the “USB Audio CODEC” and playback audio

is routed to the

USB Phono Plus. This must be done while the USB Phono Plus is connected to the

computer and powered on. If you prefer, you can have the computer output routed to your computer

speakers instead of the

USB Phono Plus monitor output jack, by selecting your computer speakers

for “OUTPUT” instead of “USB Audio CODEC” in the above setup procedures. After the above set-

tings are made, your computer will automatically reconfigure itself back to these settings every time

the

USB Phono Plus is reconnected to the computer. Your recording software may also select which

inputs or outputs are being used.

Note 1: If running Windows 7 or Vista it is important that you set the Default Format and Microphone

Level, as described above, because the default settings that Windows assigns are not correct for

proper operation of the

USB Phono Plus. Once you have changed the settings they will be remem-

bered whenever the

USB Phono Plus is connected.

Note 2: The USB Phono Plus interface uses the standard “USB Audio CODEC”. This driver is built

into most modern Operating Systems, including most current versions of

Linux. Since some details of

how the audio interface is set vary with different versions of

Linux, the setup is beyond the scope of

this document. The main key in setup is to look for “USB Audio CODEC” as the recording source or

playback monitor output while the

USB Phono Plus is connected.
