A sound card driver is always installed together with the devolo dLAN Audio
extender component and registered as an additional standard audio device
(devolo dLAN Audio extender) under Windows. It allows redirecting the sound
output of your PC in such a way that it is digitally transmitted via the electrical
system to the dLAN Audio extender where it is converted back for playback via
a stereo system or active loudspeakers.
Experts can also purposefully configure the sound settings of individual applica-
tions in such a way that the sound output is carried out either via the loudspeak-
ers connected directly to the PC or (via sound driver) via the remote dLAN Audio
extender. For more about this subject, please see section 3.4.3.
To install the software, insert the included CD-ROM in the CD or DVD drive of
your computer. If Autoplay is enabled on your PC, the installation will start auto-
matically. Otherwise, call up Windows Explorer by right-clicking on start and
selecting Explorer from the context menu. On the CD, open the directory soft-
ware
! dlan and manually start the installation wizard. After starting the
installation wizard, select the command Install dLAN Audio extender.
During the installation process, you will be given the choice of installing all five
software components (Standard) or selecting individual ones (Custom). We
recommend a complete installation of all applications, or as a minimum the
dLAN Audio extender, dLAN Configuration Wizard and devolo Informer.
