3.2 Installation
Before driver installation, please locate your original Windows CD, as you may need it during
installation. If you have a motherboard with a new chipset, please install the recent patches
provided by your motherboard or chipset manufacturers.
Find the USB port on your computer. A sample USB port is pictured below. It is typically located
next to the PS/2 or serial ports on the back of your computer.
Plug the U46 SE’s USB cable (Series A plug type) into the USB port of your computer. The other
end of the cable will be connected with U46 SE.
Turn on the U46 SE’s power button. After that, you will see on power light on the U46 SE’s front
panel. The U46 SE gets the power from the computer via USB cable. You can also use an external
Power supply if you have one.
4. Driver Installation
After the connection of U46 SE, the operating system automatically detects it as a new hardware
device. Modern operating systems like Windows XP, Windows Vista or Mac OS X usually detect
the hardware directly and are installing the correct USB audio drivers automatically.
You can use U46 SE already now in typical consumer audio applications that do not need special
professional ASIO driver support. Under Windows XP this could be for example programs used for
DVD playback or more simple DJ applications that don’t require ASIO. Under Mac OS X this
could be applications like Garageband.
The following section describes the installation of our special driver software under Windows XP.
The procedure is similar with other versions of Windows.
Installation under Windows XP
Switch off U46 SE via the power switch on the front panel before you install the driver. Then
launch
setup.exe
from the
ESI/U46SE
folder of the included driver CD or from a download of a
recent driver from our website. You can select the language used for installation, then the following
dialog appears:
