2. Click the Supported Formats tab at the top of the Digital Audio Interface Properties screen.

Music Playback Software Settings

To output audio from music playback software from this unit when connected to a computer by USB, set the sound playback device to TEAC USB AUDIO DEVICE” in the settings of the software that you are using.
