Windows® Installation
D. CONFIGURING WINDOWS AUDIO SETTINGS
When the Lexicon USB audio driver was installed, Windows may have automatically configured it as your default audio outputs. This can potentially cause a problem where audio cannot be heard when played back from your recording software; it can also cause Window’s system alerts to play loudly out of your speakers and headphones. To remedy these issues, configure your computer to playback sound using the internal sound card by default.
To view/edit Window’s default audio output setting:
1. Go to Window’s Start Menu and select Control Panel.
2. Set the view to Category if it isn’t already then click on Hardware and Sound.
3. Click on Manage Audio Devices.
