How do I select USB out on my computer?


I'm interested in using an external USB DAC but I don't understand how you bypass the internal soundcard in the computer. Can someone please explain the hookup for me?

there are lot's of good, recent posts on this topic. one discovery i have made is that simply selecting the USB device as your audio source (as described by sogood51) may not be enough to produce optimal results. if you are a pc user, you will also need to use a driver other than Windows KMix.

you might search for related threads that discuss asio drivers, such as asio4all and usb-asio. they discuss the pro's, con's and installation/setup of these drivers.

of course, if you are a Mac user, you're good to go.
