To install all components of the WT2496 properly, you should install the PCI card first and
make all audio and header pin connections before you install the WT2496 Driver and the
Control Panel. If you follow the instructions in this section in the sequence that it is written,
you will have properly installed all components. After the WT2496 has been installed, you
may need to reinstall a part or all of your digital audio recording applications.
