Setup Instructions
To use the Audio Advantage Micro II with a Windows® PC/laptop or Mac®, simply plug it into a USB socket and the LED on the unit should light up, indicating that it’s powered. The Windows or Mac operating system will automatically detect the device and inform you when it’s ready to use.
The Micro II’s �.�mm stereo analog output jack can be used to connect headphones and powered speakers. Once the Micro II is set up, as described below, you can use headphones or speakers by plugging them into the jack.
Using the Micro II with Windows® XP
After the Micro II has been detected, you can check if it has been set up as a USB audio device by clicking Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices.
Then click on the Audio tab and click on the drop down menu in the Sound Playback section to see if USB Sound Device is listed.
To use the Micro II as your default audio device, select it from the list and then click “OK”.
Using the Digital Optical
Audio Output
To use the digital optical output, insert the included S/PDIF digital adapter into the audio output jack and connect a TOSLINK digital optical cable (not included) to transfer the digital audio signal to external devices.
S/PDIF Digital Adapter (included)
Insert this adapter into the audio output jack to connect a TOSLINK digital optical cable when using the digital audio output.
Inserting the included TOSLINK adapter into the jack converts it to an optical digital output. This adapter works with a standard optional fiber optic cable (available at www.Turtlebeach.com) to connect external digital devices to the Micro II.
If your Mac or PC/laptop has more than one USB socket, you should always try to use the same socket for plugging in the Micro II. This will assure that it will always be recognized as the same device by the operating system.
PLEASE NOTE: Some USB hubs may have problems providing a consistent data stream for digital audio and may cause data stream packet loss. This could result in clicks or distortions on the USB audio from the Micro II.
If you experience this problem when the Micro II is connected to your USB hub, do not use the hub and instead connect the Micro II directly to the USB port on your Mac or PC/laptop.
