Compatibility & Drivers
Before we get started, check that your audio interface is compatible with your computer. Compare your computer’s specifications with the audio device’s system requirements on the manufacturer’s product page. If your interface isn’t compatible, you may need to upgrade/backgrade your operating system or use an interface that is compatible. If you are setting up your audio interface for the first time, make sure to first install the latest compatible driver software available from the manufacturer. You can find your interface’s available downloads on the manufacturer’s product page or on our driver index.
