Windows MME and WDM Audio Input Devices: Within the setup page of your software application(s), the names of the Audiophile USB audio input devices will be:

“M-Audio USB Audiophile Line”, and

“M-Audio USB Audiophile SPDIF”.

The “M-Audio USB Audiophile Line” device allows recording a stereo stream directly from the analog Left and Right Input pair, while the “M-Audio USB Audiophile S/PDIF” device allows you to record a stereo stream directly from the S/PDIF Input.

Note that the input devices are stereo. Your application software may break these down further to “left” and “right” mono devices. Therefore you may see them as “Left M-Audio USB Audiophile Line” and “Right M-Audio USB Audiophile Line,” or “Left M-Audio USB Audiophile S/PDIF” and “Right M-Audio USB Audiophile S/PDIF” from within your recording software. If your application allows for recording stereo tracks, you will also be able to select “Stereo M-Audio USB Audiophile Line” and “Stereo M-Audio USB Audiophile S/PDIF.”

Windows MME and WDM Audio Output Devices: Within your software application(s), the names of the Audiophile USB audio output devices are:

“M-Audio USB Audiophile Line”, and

“M-Audio USB Audiophile SPDIF “

Most application software will handle the outputs as stereo pairs but allow you to pan audio left or right within the pair. Therefore, to send a mono output to the Audiophile’s Left Output (for example), choose “M-Audio USB Audiophile Line” and pan that track hard left.To send a mono output to the Audiophile’s Right Output, choose “M-Audio USB Audiophile Line” and pan that track hard right.
