Auricon 2.2 & 4.1 Manual
Installation (Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista)
The Auricon WDM driver has been certified by Microsoft’s Hardware Compatibility Labs for
Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Because only sound cards based on
the Intel
High Definition Audio
chipset can be certified under Windows Vista, we are unable to
obtain certification for that platform, however our version 6.00.00.3505 (or later) driver has been
designed for use with Windows Vista.
The software package consists of the driver installation file (Auricon.inf), the kernel-mode driver
(Auricon.sys), the configuration DLL (AurcnPrp32.dll) and the Microsoft digital signature file
(Auricon.cat).
Switch off the computer and carefully install the Auricon card in any free PCI slot, observing the
normal precautions against static electricity discharge. Then switch the computer back on and
boot Windows.
If Windows XP or Server 2003 is being used and it is configured for automatic Windows Update,
the driver will be downloaded from the Windows Update website. Otherwise, Windows will
report that new hardware has been found. Insert the driver CD supplied with the Auricon and
proceed through the installation wizard. Allow Windows to search for the driver – do NOT
specify a driver location or file name.
At the completion of the installation process a loudspeaker symbol should appear in the toolbar
at the bottom of the screen. Your Auricon is now fully operational. If the speaker does not
appear, it may be necessary to reboot your PC. This typically happens if there has been no
sound card previously installed in the PC. Windows XP (prior to Service Pack 1) and Server
2003 by default have the loudspeaker symbol turned off. To enable it, go into
Control Panel
,
select
Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices
, then click on
Sounds and Audio Devices
, and
finally tick the box marked
Place volume icon in the task bar
.
