We recommend rebooting your computer to ensure all changes
take effect. Your driver installation for the PCLink is now
complete.
Checking that the PCLink is selected as
preferred device
With USB technology, there is never any need to turn your computer
off when unplugging or plugging in the PCLink. When you want to
use the PCLink, simply close any running programs and plug it into
the USB port. Your system will automatically configure itself. When
you’re done, you can unplug the PCLink and your computer will
automatically configure for whatever soundcard is installed. In both
cases, it does not matter if the system is on or off. For smooth
automatic loading, please ensure all audio programs are closed before
plugging in, or unplugging the PCLink.
Note
When the PCLink is selected as your system’s preferred audio device, no
sound will come out of any speakers plugged into your soundcard. If you wish
to use your soundcard instead of the PCLink, either unplug the PCLink from
the USB cable, or select your soundcard as preferred audio device in the
Multimedia Properties control panel for Windows 98, or Sounds and
Multimedia control panel for Windows Me and Windows 2000. It is not
possible to use a soundcard and the PCLink at the same time.
Windows 98
Once Windows 98 starts and the appropriate drivers have been
loaded, the PCLink will automatically be set as your system’s
preferred audio device. To verify this, open the Multimedia Control
Panel and make sure that USB Audio Device appears in the Sound
Playback section under
Preferred Device . To get to the Multimedia
Control Panel hit Start, then go to Settings, then Control Panel.
The multimedia icon will be in the Control Panel window. Double
click on the icon to open the Multimedia Properties window. In the
Audio tab, under the heading Sound Playback Preferred Device,
make sure that USB Audio Device appears. If it does not, use the
scroll arrow to the right and choose USB Audio Device. You are
now fully loaded.
