ION MixMeister EZ Setup & Troubleshooting Download Page 4

Windows XP – Setup Instructions   

Before you begin: 

 

1.  Make sure you have the latest version of 

EZ Converter

 installed.  Visit 

www.ionaudio.com/ezvc

 to download. Install the software program after downloading it 

from our website. 
 

2.  Once EZ Converter is installed on your computer, connect your USB Recording device 

using the included USB cable to an available USB port on your computer.   
 

TIP: 

not all USB ports are created equal.  Although most ports will work with 

printers and mice, some computer’s ports may not be suitable for use with 
recording devices.  We recommend connecting directly to a port on your PC, 
instead of using USB hubs or splitters.  If your desktop PC has USB ports both 
on the front and on the back, we recommend using ports located on the back of 
the PC. 

 
3.  If your product has a 

Power

 button (some products do not), make sure it is switched to 

the 

ON 

position. 

  

4.  Close all programs that are open on your computer. 

 

Setup Procedure: 

1.  On the bottom-left of your screen, select the 

Start

 

menu.  
 

2. Select 

Settings

 then 

Control Panel

3.  In the window that opens, find and double-click the 

Sounds and Audio Devices

 control panel.  

 
If you don’t see a choice called 

Sounds and Audio 

Devices

, choose the 

Switch to Classic View

 option 

in the panel on the left of the window, and the 

Sounds 

and Audio Devices

 should become available on the 

right. 
 

4.  At the top of the next window that opens, select the 

Audio

 tab.  

 

5. Under 

Sound Playback

, choose the device that you 

would like your computer’s audio to come out of.   
 
Computer sound cards vary from computer to 
computer. Some common PC soundcard names are 

Realtek

Soundmax

, and 

Sigmatel

.  Choose on the 

device that best matches your desired audio setup. 
 

NOTE:

 do NOT choose 

USB Audio Codec 

as your playback device.  This represents 

your ION Audio USB recording device, and can only be used as a recording input, not a 
playback output.  Also, make sure not to choose 

Modem

, or 

Microsoft Sound Mapper

 

as your playback device.
