Connections And Driver Installation (Windows); What Is A Driver - Edirol UA-3 Getting Started

Connections and driver installation (Windows)

* If you are a Macintosh user, refer to p. 27.
Before installing the driver
* The UA-3D cannot be used with Windows 95 or Windows NT.
* Exit all other applications of the Windows before you install the UA-3D driver.
* If you intend to connect the UA-3D and other USB devices to your computer and use them
simultaneously, disconnect all USB devices other than the UA-3D from the USB connector
before you install the driver. If a USB device other than the USB-3D is left connected to your
computer when you install the driver, the driver may not be installed correctly.
In order to use the UA-3D, you must first install the USB Composite Device driver,
the USB Human Interface driver, and the USB Audio Device driver consecutively.
These drivers are included with Windows. If you are using Windows 98, this driver
is provided in the Microsoft Windows CD-ROM, so you will need to have the
Microsoft Windows CD-ROM ready.
(This is not necessary for Windows Me, 2000, or XP.)

What is a driver?

A driver is software that allows an application program running on your computer
to transfer data to and from the UA-3D when it is connected to your computer via
a USB cable.
The driver passes data from the application to the UA-3D, and passes data from the
UA-3D to the application.
