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.
