Installing the Waves SoundGrid host application will also install applicable device drivers and ASIO/Core Audio drivers. 
Your devices will appear in the Inventory of your host system. If a device is not visible in the Inventory, you may need to 
install a specific driver from 

Waves Central

—please see below. First, however, check the device’s connections and 

power.

If you are already using a Waves SoundGrid host application and your device does not appear in the Network Devices 
list, use Waves Central to update the host application, which also updates the device drivers—or install just the missing 
device driver from Waves Central.
