USB Drivers

When connected to a computer, the Stealth DC-1 operates as a UAC2 audio device.
(The computer recognizes the DC-1 as an "external USB sound card".)
UAC2 (short for "USB audio class 2") refers to the way in which the operating system
recognizes the DC-1. It has nothing to do with USB 1.1 or USB 2.0, which refer to the
speeds available using various USB hardware connection options.
Modern Apple computers support UAC2 audio devices without the need for additional
drivers (the drivers are already built-in). Some versions of Linux include support for
UAC2 audio, but not all (consult the documenation for your particular Linux build).
Most hardware players (like Blu-Ray players with USB ports) do not support connection
to a UAC2 audio device.
Computers using the Microsoft Windows operating system require you to install a
separate driver before they will connect to a UAC2 device. We provide free UAC2
Windows drivers which support Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7,
and Windows 8.
These drivers are available from the DC-1 product page. The download files will include
installation instructions.
