Â
Do not insert the Audio Advantage into a USB port until after you’ve run the
Setup program from the CD.
The audio software on your PC communicates with devices such as the Audio Advantage via software
known as “drivers”, which act as an interface between the audio hardware and software. Turtle Beach
provides special drivers on the included CD that enable you to use the Audio Advantage with software
applications running in Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 and XP. The CD also includes software programs that let
you easily try the Audio Advantage’s features.
Before proceeding with the installation, please make sure that the USB ports on your PC are enabled. Check
your PC manual for information on how to do this.
T
O INSTALL THE DRIVERS AND APPLICATIONS FROM THE
CD
Â
Be sure to note which USB port you’re using to install the Audio Advantage. When you
remove it and later reinsert it, you should use the same USB port. Otherwise, you’ll be
prompted to reinstall the drivers. This is because Windows will not recognize the USB
device when it is inserted into a port other than the one from which it was initially
installed.
