4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the driver installation.
5. Restart your computer when prompted.
6. Connect your audio device to a USB port on your computer and wait for the Windows ® operating system to
detect it. (A message may appear in the Windows task tray.)

and download the latest drivers.
