[. . . ] In this situation you may not be able to select USB Audio Device even though the USB drivers seemed to install fine when you first plugged in the Digital PCLink. Windows Me Once Windows Me starts and the appropriate drivers have been loaded, the Digital PCLink should automatically be set as your system's preferred audio device. To verify this, open the Sounds and Multimedia Properties control panel and make sure that USB Audio Device appears in the Sound Playback section under Preferred Device. To get to the Sounds and Multimedia Properties 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 Sounds and 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. Windows 2000 Once Windows 2000 starts and the appropriate drivers have been loaded, the Digital PCLink will automatically be set as your system's preferred audio device. To verify this, open the Sounds and Multimedia panel and make sure that USB Audio Device appears in the Playback section under the Audio tab. To get to the Multimedia Control Panel hit Start, then go to Settings, then Control Panel. The Sounds and Multimedia icon will be in the Control Panel window. Place a check next to Version in the Show Columns section. A version column will now appear and let you check the version of the Apple Audio Extension file running on your computer. If your system is not running Apple Audio Extension 1. 0. 5 or higher, the Digital PCLink, may not operate. After verifying your computer has the necessary operating system and audio extensions, close all applications. Plug the supplied USB cable into a USB port on your computer. Now plug the Digital PCLink into the other end of the USB cable. Do not plug the Digital PCLink into a USB hub, as other devices on the hub may effect the digital audio data running to the Digital PCLink causing unwanted pops and clicks in your recordings. Your computer will now automatically initiate the Digital PCLink and set it as the preferred playback device. After a few seconds, you should notice that the Digital PCLink red TOSLINK light is activated. If the Digital PCLink's TOSLINK light does not activate after a few seconds, verify that you are running the minimum operating system and Apple Audio Extensions requirements. The installation of your Digital PCLink is now complete. [. . . ] Make sure you are not running any other programs in the background when trying to record with the Digital PCLink -- anything that causes a lot of hard disk access can effect the data flowing down the USB bus. Virus checking programs that continually run in the background are particular bad. Some drastically effect the isochronous data flow down the USB bus and starve the Digital PCLink of data. It is therefore important to disable all virus checking programs if you are getting multiple track marks. [. . . ]
