NuForce 192kHz/24bit USB Driver Setup Guide
Install Driver & Software:
After downloading the driver, run the Installation program. After the installation,
an icon linking to the NuForce Stereo Audio Control Panel program will appear
on your desktop. For now move on to the Connect Hardware step, as detailed
information regarding software adjustment will follow.
Connect Hardware:
Once the software has been installed, connect a digital coaxial or optical cable
from the output of the U192S to the input of your chosen DAC. Plug the provided
USB cable between the computer's USB port and the U192S. After the cable is
connected, a window will pop up at the lower-right side of the display that reads:
NuForce Async USB Audio 192K HS installed
A white LED 44.1k
will indicate power-on status.
Select Playback:
Right click on speaker icon at the bottom right and select Playback Devices.
Choose SPDIF OUT and close window.
Adjust Software (Windows 7 Setup):
Direct Sound (DS) is the default Windows audio mode and it operates with the
Windows Mixer enabled. This means other sound prompts (such as email
notifications, etc) will be mixed into the music output. A single sample rate must
therefore be used as the common denominator. For music playback in Windows 7,
WASAPI mode (Windows Audio Session API) is the preferred and purest mode.
