2. Evaluation Board Usage Instructions¶
Installing Windows Driver¶
Note
- Upon receiving the evaluation board, if this is your first use on a Windows system, you need to install the Windows driver before conducting evaluation tests.
- Windows 10 build 1809 and later versions include native USB UAC 2.0 drivers. However, the native driver only supports audio playback up to 384kHz sampling rate. To evaluate 768kHz sampling rates and DSD formats, a third-party driver installation is required.
- Linux, Mac, and mobile devices do not require driver installation.
-
Download evaluation driver. After extraction, run XMOS_TUSBAudio_eval_v5.58.0_2023-06-29_setup.exe directly and follow the default installation process.
-
Connect the evaluation board to the Windows computer via USB cable. Click the TUSB icon in the system tray. If the USB Audio Device displays as shown in the figure, the driver is running normally.
-
The evaluation board will enumerate as USB 2.0 Audio Devices (UAC2.0) in Device Manager.
-
In the playback settings, set USB 2.0 Audio Devices (UAC2.0) as the default device.
Audio Evaluation¶
The evaluation board features 3 indicator lights: USB, OPT, COX, representing USB, optical, and coaxial modes respectively.
- Short press the MODE button: USB indicator lights up, plays USB audio.
- Short press the MODE button: OPT indicator lights up, plays optical audio.
- Short press the MODE button: COX indicator lights up, plays coaxial audio.
