5.4 USB/SPDIF digital audio input

5.4.1 Connecting the computer to the USB audio input

With the USB Audio interface you can playback music and sound files

from your computer (PC) using the sophisticated digital-to-analog con-

verters of the ART G3 instead of the soundcard of the PC. The ART G3

is integrated into your computer system as USB Audio device. The instal-

lation is done (mostly) automatically via Plug'n'Play, provided a correctly

installed operating system.

Note

· To use the USB Audio function of the ART G3, your computer re-

quires having Microsoft™ Windows™ XP™ or newer, Apple OS X

10.1 or higher or a current Linux version as operating system, with

the latest USB Audio drivers installed. For further information about

the minimum system requirements please refer to the documentation

of your installed operating system.

1. Connect digital input IN 1 15 with a suitable USB cable (plug

type A to plug type B) to a free USB port at your computer that

is compatible with USB 1.1 or above and supports the Full Speed

USB protocol.

2. Start your computer, then switch on the ART G3.

The ART G3 is recognized as newly added hardware by your computer.

Depending on the operating system installed on your computer, it might

occur that at the first connection of the ART G3, the operating system

prompts you to install a driver for the new hardware.

· If necessary, Windows may prompt you to insert its installation

CD/DVD. Please have the disc ready.

· For further information about automatic hardware recognition,

searching for and installing hardware drivers, please refer to the

documentation of your operating system.

· USB Audio is an integral part of up to date operating systems, so no

further software installation is necessary. After installing the neces-

sary hardware drivers the ART G3 will be automatically integrated

into your computer system from now on and is ready to use after

plugging in the USB cable.

Depending on the installed operating system the ART G3 will be auto-

matically setup as standard device for sound playback. In case this is not

done automatically due to your current system configuration, please set

the corresponding option manually:
