Playback System III USB connection
Auditioner playback system is a standard Microsoft Windows USB 1.0 compliant audio
device. Auditioner playback system works as a USB 1.0 device when using USB 2.0. The
Auditioner playback system connects like any other USB device that you add to your
computer and it appears as an additional sound card.
Whenever you connect a USB device, the computer's host controller polls certain information
from the device, and then decides if there is enough bandwidth available to add the device. If
there is enough bandwidth, the host controller adds the device. If there is not enough
bandwidth, you will need to disconnect one or more of your other USB devices (such as a
USB printer) to make more bandwidth available for the Auditioner playback system. We
recommend that you only have one active sound device connected to your computer at a
time. If you do experience a conflict, it is likely that you are using a similar USB chip (for
example, USB bus-powered speakers) on your network. To resolve this problem, simply
unplug the other USB device(s).
There should be no audio dropouts over your USB network. Once the Auditioner playback
system is connected and accepted by the host controller, there will be sufficient bandwidth to
pass audio to the USB device. Streaming audio will always take precedence over other USB
traffic such as a USB mouse or USB printer.
If you do not have enough open USB ports on your computer, you may want to use a USB
hub to provide more ports. You can buy any off-the-shelf USB hub. We have tested USB 1.0
and 2.0 compliant hubs from D-Link, Belkin, Targus, and IOGEAR, and have found them to be
reliable. Connect the USB hub to your computer, then connect the Auditioner playback
system and other USB devices to the hub. For more information on using a USB hub, see
“Connecting Auditioner® Playback System III to a USB hub” on page 10
.
Note:
When using a USB hub, you may experience a slight latency due to network traffic. As
the latency is very short, this should not have an impact on your Auditioner playback system
listening session.
After you connect the Auditioner playback system to your Windows laptop (or other device)
you can monitor the connection by checking the USB activity lights on the back of the
Auditioner playback system system. When there is activity, the green LED illuminates. When
the connection is in standby mode, the red LED illuminates.
