Auricon 2.2+ Manual

 

Installation  

 

 
The  software  package  consists  of  the  driver  installation  file  (Auricon22Plus.inf  or 
Auricon22Plus64.inf),  the  kernel-mode  driver  (Auricon22Plus.sys),  the  configuration  DLL 
(AurcnPrp32.dll  or 

AurcnPrp64.dll) 

and 

the 

catalogue  file 

(Auricon22Plus.cat  or 

Auricon22Plus64.cat). 
 
Switch off the computer and carefully install the Auricon card in any free PCI slot, observing the 
normal precautions against static electricity discharge. Then switch the computer back on and 
boot Windows. 
 

Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008

 - Windows will report that new hardware 

has been found and the New Hardware wizard will start. Insert the driver CD supplied with the 
card and proceed through the wizard. Allow Windows to search for the driver – do NOT specify 
a driver location or file name. 
 

Windows 7, 8, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012

 – Windows no longer searches removable media 

for  drivers.  Open  Device  Manager,  where  the  Auricon  will  be  listed  under  Other  Devices  as  a 
Multimedia  Audio  Controller.  Right-click  on  it,  select 

Update  Driver  Software

,  then  click  on 

Browse  my  computer  for  driver  software

  and  click  on  the  Browse  button  to  navigate  to  the 

driver’s location. Click on 

Next

 to install the driver. 

 
On  Windows  2000,  XP  and  Server  2003,  you  may  be  warned  that  the  driver  has  not  passed 
Windows Logo testing. Click on 

Continue Anyway

 to proceed with the installation. 

 
Windows  8,  7,  Vista,  Server  2012,  2008-R2  and  2008  will  recognise  Innes  Corporation’s  own 
digital signature on the driver and invite you to proceed with the installation. If you wish you can 
tick the box to always accept Innes Corporation drivers. 
 
At the completion of the installation process a loudspeaker symbol should appear in the toolbar 
at  the  bottom  of  the  screen.  Your  Auricon  is  now  fully  operational.  If  the  speaker  does  not 
appear,  it  may  be  necessary  to  reboot  your  PC.  This  typically  happens  if  there  has  been  no 
sound  card  previously  installed  in  the  PC.  Windows  XP  (prior  to  Service  Pack  1)  and  Server 
2003  by  default have the  loudspeaker  symbol  turned  off. To  enable  it,  go  into 

Control  Panel

select 

Sounds, Speech and  Audio Devices

, then click on 

Sounds and Audio Devices

, and 

finally tick the box marked 

Place volume icon in the task bar
