Settings when using the OCTA-CAPTURE in Windows Media Player
Here’s how to specify the OCTA-CAPTURE as the system default playback device so that it can be
used with Windows Media Player.
* In “Verifying That You Hear Sound” (p . 27), you’ll use Windows Media Player to play back sample
data . Be sure to make the settings described below .
1. Open the “Control Panel,” click the [Hardware and Sound] and click [Sound] .
If you’re using the Icon view or the Classic view, double-click [Sound].
2. Open the [Playback] tab, select the OCTA-CAPTURE’s [1-2], and click [Set Default] .
3. Click [OK] to complete the setting .
If you select the “OCTA-CAPTURE” as the default playback device, audio alerts and other sounds from
Windows will also be output from the OCTA-CAPTURE, and therefore will not be heard from your
computer’s speakers.
Caution when recording or playing back with your software
Check the following points before you use the OCTA-CAPTURE to record or play back.
• Connect the OCTA-CAPTURE to your computer before you start up the software you’re
using.
• Do not switch off the OCTA-CAPTURE’s power or disconnect the USB cable from your
computer while your software is running. Close the software you’re using before you
disconnect the OCTA-CAPTURE’s USB cable from your computer.
This completes driver installation and settings.
Next, verify that you hear sound from the OCTA-CAPTURE. -> “Verifying That You Hear Sound” (p. 27).
