2.3 Driver & Software Installation
After the connection of U22 XT, the operating system automatically detects it as a new hardware
device. Modern operating systems like Windows Vista/7/8/10 or Mac OS X usually detect the
hardware directly and are installing the correct USB audio drivers automatically.
You can use U22 XT already now in typical consumer audio applications that do not need special
professional ASIO driver support. Under Windows this could be for example programs used for
DVD playback or more simple DJ applications that don’t require ASIO. Under Mac OS X this
could be applications like Garageband.
2.3.1 Installation under Windows
This text explains how to install U22 XT under Windows 10. If you use Windows Vista, Windows
7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, the steps are basically the same. Disconnect U22 XT before you
install the driver if it has been connected already.

download from our website or in the Windows folder of the included Installation DVD, by double
clicking on it. Typically the filename is something like U22_XT_vX.YY_setup.exe where X.YY is
the version number of the driver. When launching the installer, Windows might display a security
message. Make sure to allow the installation. After that, the following dialog on the left will appear.
