DRIVER INSTALLATION
The USB driver enables Windows to stream audio to the USBStreamer. In addition, it installs a control panel to help
manage the USBStreamer.
To install the driver, the USBStreamer
must
be connected to the computer by USB. Go to the
WinDrivers
folder of
the installation download and double-click on the appropriate installer:
•
miniDSP_UAC2_v2.29.3_ForWinXP_Vista.exe
for Windows XP and Vista
•
miniDSP_UAC2_v4.67.0_2019-08-15_setup.exe
for Windows 7, 8, and 10
(The version number embedded in the filename may be different.)
We recommend accepting the default installation location. Once the driver installation completes, click the
Finish
button.
The Windows PC will not be able to communicate properly with the USBStreamer if you did not have the
USBStreamer connected by USB when you ran the installer. If that is the case, you will need to uninstall
the driver, connect the USBStreamer, and run the installer again.
