Troubleshooting Guide In this section are various suggestions for problems or issues you may encounter using the PCLink including: 1 My computer does not seem to have all the right drivers in Windows Problem: After plugging in your PCLink for the first time, Windows does not seem to automatically default to where the drivers should be and you cannot seem to find them on the Windows CD either. Fix: A lot of the large branded computer manufacturers ship their systems with a cutdown OEM vers

Fix: The symptom occurs where large branded computer manufacturers ship their systems with a cutdown OEM version of Windows that does not always include all the USB audio components.

Fix: This occurs if a system’s soundcard is ISA based — common for standard on board audio solutions (since Windows cannot automatically take a setting away from an ISA soundcard and give it to the PCLink). It will also occur if you are running an audio program when you plug in or unplug the PCLink. Make sure to therefore close all audio programs before doing this. You may need to configure your computer manually by selecting USB Audio Device in the Multimedia Control Panel or the Sounds

To solve this problem, make sure you are not running any other programs in the background when trying to record with the PCLink - anything that causes a lot of hard disk access can effect the data flowing down the USB bus. Virus checking programs that continually run in the background are particularly bad. Some drastically effect the isochronous data flow down the USB bus and starve the PCLink of data. It is therefore important to disable all virus checking programs. Also, make sure that y
