Installing the drivers
In order to use the US-144, you must install 
the appropriate drivers into your computer. 
As described below, this is an easy process 
using the CD-ROM included with the 
US-144.
Drivers are updated from time to time. You 
can download the most recent version of 
the drivers from the TASCAM website 
<http://www.tascam.com/>.
Do not connect the US-144 to your comput-
er before you have installed the drivers.
CAUTION
Handle the enclosed CD-ROM with care. 
If the disc becomes scratched or dirty, 
your computer may be unable to read it 
and the software cannot be installed. If 
the disc becomes unreadable, a fee will 
be charged for its replacement.
WARNING
Never attempt to play the enclosed CD-
ROM in a conventional audio CD player, 
as the resulting noise may damage your 
speakers or your hearing.

The US-144’s drivers are provided on the 
CD-ROM as an executable installer enti-
tled US-122L & US-144 driver x_yy.exe.

NOTE
During driver installation, a warning 
that 
this software ... has not passed 
Windows Logo testing
 will appear. This 
warning appears when you attempt to 
install a driver that has not passed 
Windows Logo testing; however, please 
be assured that TASCAM has verified 
that this driver for Windows XP does 
work correctly. 
If this message appears, click Continue to 
proceed with the installation.
If a message asks you to restart your com-
puter, restart your computer.
After restarting, connect the US-144 to 
your computer. The Windows Plug and 
Play system will detect the new USB hard-
ware, and the Add New Hardware wizard 
will start up. The wizard will automatically 
find the necessary files. (This will take 
about 30 to 60 seconds.)
The drivers are now installed, and the 
US-144 is ready to operate.
