With Windows 7, 8 and 10 as well as Mac OS X 10.5
and higher, no special driver software is required to
operate the MD16. The operating systems detect
the MD16 as a "USB Advanced Audio Device" when
it is connected to the USB port.
You only adjust the volume of the amplifier on the
MD16, all other settings (e.g. sound, recording and
headset level) are controlled from your PC.
Mac OS X
To quickly switch playback
to the MD16, push the [alt]
button on the Mac and click
the speaker icon on the
menu bar (you can activate
this icon under "Sound" in
the system preferences,
see below). Select the "USB
Advanced Audio Device"
from the list "Output Device".
All Mac sounds will now be
played back via the MD16.
You can also select the "Input
Device" via this menu. However, only the last one
used with the MD16 ("Microphone" in this example).
