Yes, you need to select the USB-DAC as your output. The PC will recognize the device but will not choose it automatically. Undoubtedly, there will be instructions included with the DAC.
Newbie Question on Selecting USB Output
My main system is non-computer based, but I'm thinking of connecting a relatively inexpensive USB-DAC and comparable speakers to an office computer. My question is, does merely connecting the USB-DAC to the USB output jack on the computer cause the computer generated signal to go to the USB port or do I have to change computer settings to bypass the computer's sound card? And if I have to change a setting, does it involve merely clicking on a different choice or will I have to install something?
