Universal Serial Bus (USB) audio transfer is provided for
easy exchange of audio with a compatible computer.
The format of the transfer is streaming audio – the
software you are using on the computer will control the
stored file format of the audio data.
The PORTADISC will automatically start any required
software installation when connected via a USB cable to
a computer.
WINDOWS 98 / WINDOWS 2000 USERS
1. Connect a USB cable between the PORTADISC and
your computer.
2. Follow the installation instructions to install USB
drivers (if required) for your computer. You may
require your Windows installation discs. There is no
software supplied with the PORTADISC.
3. Once the drivers are installed, the USB interface
can be used. Please ensure the application you are
using is selected in order to record from the USB
audio source (normally found in options menu).
4. Should you wish to play back via USB from the
computer to the PORTADISC, playback has to be
selected to be USB audio. Most PC output paths
will default to less than unity gain. To correct this,
open the output gain control panel on the PC and
select from options – playback USB Audio Device –
then with the level page open ensure that both the
Wave level control and the Output level control are
set to maximum and un-muted.
