Using Big Ego With Your Windows Computer
The audio drivers that are built into Microsoft Windows only
support sample rates up to 96k.
To enable your Big Ego to play high resolution audio files up
to 384k, you'll need to install our Emotiva Big Ego drivers for
Windows. You can download the drivers for free from the
Resources tab on the Big Ego product page. Instructions for
installing the drivers on your computer are included along
with the drivers.
If you only play files below 96k, or you're using your Big Ego
on a friend's machine, your Big Ego has a special mode that
supports up to 96k without having to install drivers. To use
this Driverless Mode, all you need to do is press and hold
down the Filter Selector Switch while connecting Big Ego to
your computer. When your Big Ego is in Driverless Mode, the
USB Mode Indicator will be lit red.
Note: If you're using Driverless Mode, and you turn your
computer off or let it hibernate while Big Ego is still
connected, you'll have to unplug Big Ego and plug it back
in while holding the Filter Selector Switch button down
after you turn your computer back on.
