If there is a green checkmark next to the currently selected 
default device, you will not be able to select it, since it is 
already selected.

Important:

 Windows Vista will set the ASTRO Gaming USB 

MixAmp as the default playback device when the MixAmp™ 
is first installed, which will combine voice and game sound 
at your PC and negate the MixAmp’s hardware mixing 
capabilities (and the function of the 

BALANCE

 control). 

Follow the above instructions to reset your default playback 
device to a soundcard or onboard audio output. 

Alternatively, you may leave the default playback device set 
to the ASTRO Gaming USB MixAmp if you DON’T want to 
connect an extra audio cable and DON’T want to use the 
mixing feature of the MixAmp™. A single USB cable is all you’ll 
need for this type of configuration. Simply mix game and voice 
volumes using the levels in the software for your audio and 
voice programs.

Next, click on the Recording Tab and confirm that the ASTRO 
Gaming USB MixAmp is set as the default device (should 
display a green check mark) -- this should be automatic upon 
installation. If not, right click on the microphone icon that is 
associated with the ASTRO Gaming USB MixAmp and select 
‘Set as Default Device’ in the pop-up menu. You can also set 
your microphone recording level through this menu. Be sure to 
click ‘Apply’ to change the settings before you exit. 

The ASTRO MixAmp will also work with many other operating 
systems including Mac OSX and Unix/Linux variants. Visit us 
at: www.astrogaming.com/support and navigate to the FAQ 
for more information.
