Windows Sound System and the Audiophile USB

Windows may be set up to use the Audiophile as its default audio device,

allowing system sounds to be played through the Audiophile. This also

enables you to use the Audiophile with the sound applets included with

Windows.To set this up, go to Control Panel | Sounds and Audio Devices

(or, “Multimedia” in Windows 98). In the Audio Properties page, set the

Playback and Recording devices to the Audiophile USB input and output

devices of your choice.

Windows may also use the Audiophile USB as its default MIDI device.This

allows the Audiophile USB to be used with the MIDI applications included

with Windows.To set this up, go to Control Panel | Sounds and Audio

Devices | Audio.(Or, go to Control Panel | Multimedia | MIDI in Windows

98.) Set the Audiophile MIDI driver as the default Windows MIDI driver by

clicking on the “Out USB Audiophile” entry in the drop-down list, then

selecting “OK” or “Apply”.

RCA output jacks.These jacks allow connection to unbalanced (typically

consumer or semi-pro) line level equipment.

Only one pair of analog inputs can be used at any given time.When a 1/4”

TS plug is connected to the 1/4” line inputs,the corresponding RCA input

jack is defeated. If you have RCA cables connected to the Audiophile and

then connect 1/4” plugs to the 1/4” jacks, the Audiophile will then get its

signal from the 1/4” line inputs.

NOTE: In order to preserve its high dynamic range and minimize
