The PHASE 26 USB as a system audio device (Windows).
If you want to use the PHASE 26 USB System not only in your audio applications, but
also as the preferred audio device for Windows, simply open the Windows Control Panel,
go to “Sounds and Multimedia” > “Audio”, and select the PHASE 26 audio driver as the
“Preferred Device” for any or all system audio functions.
Then you can use the standard speaker icon in the Windows taskbar to adjust volume.
For details on the mixer functions for your Windows operating system version, refer to the
Microsoft Windows help on your system. You can also use the PHASE 26 USB Control-
Panel to adjust the output volume.
Updating the firmware (Windows).
Thanks to the advanced software technology: Future changes to existing standards and
new functions developed for the PHASE 26 USB System can be integrated simply by
updating the device's “firmware”, without having to replace or change any hardware. To
update the firmware, follow these steps:

First unplug the USB connection from the PHASE 26 USB hardware. Now press the
“Mode” and “Input” buttons on the PHASE 26 USB module at the same time while you
plug the USB cable back in.
The hardware now registers as a “PHASE 26 Firmware Update” device and, if this is
the first time you've updated the firmware, the Windows hardware wizard opens to
install the update drivers.
Select “Install from a list or specific location” and enter the path to the drivers in the
next dialog, for example on the product CD
<CD>:\PHASE 26 USB\Driver\PC\PHASE 26 USB Driver\
(or as an update
from the TerraTec web site).
After the “Flash Updater for TerraTec
PHASE 26 USB
” driver has been installed
successfully (which you can confirm in the Device Manager -> USB Controllers),
launch the
PHASE 26 USB
ControlPanel. If you have not yet installed the Control-
Panel, run the installer from the autorun program on the PHASE CD.
Click the “Load” button on the Update page of the ControlPanel. Browse to and select
the current Windows firmware called “
PHASE26USB_WIN_x.xx.BIN
”, for example on
the CD:
<CD>:\PHASE 26 USB\Driver\PC\Firmware\
or as an update from the
TerraTec web site.
Click “Open” to close the browse dialog and begin the firmware update automatically.
You can view the progress of the update in the status window.
When done, unplug the USB cable again and then plug it back in a few seconds later.
The
PHASE 26 USB
System is again available for your use.
