Connecting the HIFACE Evo Two to a computer via its USB ports needs a few
configuration operations by the user.
Fortunately, the HIFACE Evo Two is provided with an USB 2.0 interface which is

Microsoft operating system require a suitable driver which can be downloaded from
M2Tech website (www.m2tech.biz).
Below, the procedures to set a computer for music playback by the HIFACE Evo Two are
described. Reader are advised that some details in the described procedures may differ
depending on the operating system version installed on your computer and the player
chosen by the user; the following descriptions are general guidelines to the configuration
of computer and player.
