Features
* This driver supports WDM and ASIO (Steinberg Audio Stream I/O Interface) 2.0.
System requirements
This driver has the following requirements.
Operating System
Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Home Edition
Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Professional
Computer
A Windows(R) XP compatible computer with a USB connector that supports USB Specification Revision 2.0 or higher
* Intel chipset recommended.
CPU/Clock
Pentium(R) III, Pentium(R) 4, Pentium(R) M Processor / 1.2GHz or higher.
* Pentium(R) 4/1.6 GHz, Pentium(R) M/1.3 GHz or higher is recommended for laptops.
* UA-101 may not perform to its full specs when used with Celeron(R) or Intel compatible processors.
* Pentium(R) 4/2 GHz or higher recommended for 192kHz
Memory
256MB or more
<When using an added USB 2.0 interface card, such as a PCI card>
* "NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller" is recommended.
* This driver has been shown to function properly when used with average computer systems having specifications that conform to the above guidelines. You should be aware, however, that there are numerous other variables that can affect performance, including differences in hardware design, system configuration, and overall combination of software applications that are used. Therefore, the actual system requirements could be different than the above.
Cautions and Limitations
* On some computers, the driver does not load correctly if the UA-101 is already connected when Windows is started up. As a result, it will not be possible to use the UA-101 via USB. If this occurs, wait until after Windows has started to turn on the power of the UA-101 (or to connect it).
* If the UA-101 was connected when its power was already turned on, it may stop operating correctly when it enters standby or hibernate mode. If this occurs, after resuming, you should exit all applications that use the UA-101, and then turn the power of the UA-101 off and on again.
* If the USB cable is disconnected and reconnected while the UA-101 is in use, or if the power of the UA-101 is turned off, then on again, it may stop operating correctly. If this occurs, after resuming, you should exit all applications that use the UA-101, and turn the power of the UA-101 off, then on again.
* If your PC was experiencing a heavy processing load, such as when accessing a CD-ROM Drive or network while the UA-101 was being used, the UA-101 may no longer operate correctly. If this occurs, stop the playback or recording, then try starting playback or recording over again. If you are still unable to play back or record, quit all programs that are using the UA-101, then turn the UA-101 off and then on again.
* If notes are broken off prematurely, increase the "Audio Buffer Size."
If you want to set the latency low, decrease the "Audio Buffer Size."

* If you are unable to select the UA-101 device, a problem may have occurred. Refer to "Troubleshooting."
Audio input/output device
The UA-101's audio configuration
Of the total audio input/output channels provided by the UA-101, there are 12 INs and 10 OUTs
* IN: WAVE IN 1--10, MONITOR OUT (L/R), totaling twelve inputs
* OUT: WAVE OUT 1--10, totaling ten outputs
* When running at 192 kHz, the audio configuration is 6-in/6-out.
Audio input/output device settings
This driver supports WDM/ASIO 2.0. Refer to the explanations below, and select the appropriate one for your application.
WDM
Use this for the following applications or purposes. You will be able to use 12 inputs and 10 outputs.
* Conventional applications such as Media Player
(For details on settings, refer to "Settings when using the Windows Media Player.")
* WDM driver mode compatible applications such as SONAR
* DirectSound compatible applications
* Playing back WMA Professional format 5.1 channel files in Media Player
(Go to "Advanced Audio Properties," and set the "Speaker setup" setting to "5.1 surround sound speakers.")
[WAVE OUT/WAVE IN Device]
EDIROL UA-101
Stereo audio signals will be input and output through OUTPUT 1--2 and INPUT 1--2. If you want to use other inputs and outputs, refer to "SEPARATED Ports."
ASIO
Use this when using the UA-101 with an ASIO-compatible application such as Cubase.
In the ASIO settings of your application, select "EDIROL UA-101." You will be able to use 12 inputs and 10 outputs.
* To prevent an audio feedback loop or double monitoring, make settings on your application to turn monitoring off or use ASIO Direct Monitoring.
* When using the UA-101 with ASIO, we recommend that you set your application so that it does not use the Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth. (In order to decrease the load, and for convenience when changing the driver buffer size)
* In Cubase SX, if the UA-101's sample rate is different than the Cubase SX project setting, a message such as "Sample could not be set" may appear, and you may be unable to record or play back correctly.
In this case, open "Project Setup," verify that the sample rates match, and then click [OK].
SEPARATED Ports (WDM)
If you are unable to select the UA-101's INPUT 3--10 and OUTPUT 3--10 as input/output destinations in the application you're using, you can turn SEPARATED Ports on (enabled) so that these ports can be selected as input/output destinations.

Was the driver installed correctly?
If you can't use the UA-101 even though you've installed the driver, the driver might not be installed correctly. Use the procedure described in "To reinstall" to reinstall the driver.
Is the UA-101 WAVE/MIDI device name displayed?
If the device name is not displayed, exit all applications that are using the UA-101, and turn the power of the UA-101 off, then on again.
If this does not solve the problem, use the procedure described in "To reinstall" to reinstall the driver.
Cannot select the UA-101 device
Was the driver installed correctly?
Did the computer enter a standby or hibernate mode while the UA-101 was connected with its power turned on?
If the computer entered a standby or hibernate mode while the UA-101 was connected with its power turned on, it may not operate correctly. In this case, after resuming, exit all applications that are using the UA-101, and then turn on the power of the UA-101 once again.
Was the USB cable disconnected and reconnected while the UA-101 was being used, or was the power of the UA-101 turned off, then on again?
If the USB cable is disconnected and reconnected while the UA-101 is in use, or if the power of the UA-101 is turned off, then on again, it may no longer operate correctly. If this occurs, exit all applications that are using the UA-101, and turn the power of the UA-101 off, then on again.
On some computers, if the UA-101 is connected while Windows starts up, the driver will not be loaded correctly, and it will not be possible to use the UA-101 via USB.
If this occurs, start up Windows before you turn on the power of the UA-101 or connect it.
Cannot play back/record
Was the driver installed correctly?
Did you make settings as described in "Before you begin" so that the UA-101 driver could be used?
The UA-101 cannot be used unless you make these settings. Refer to the sections on "Before you begin."
Could you have entered standby or hibernate mode during playback or recording?
If you entered standby or hibernate mode during playback or recording, it will no longer be possible to play back or record from the UA-101. Exit all currently playing or recording applications, and switch the power of the UA-101 off, then back on again.
During playback or recording, did you turn the power of the UA-101 on/off, or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable?
If you turn the power of the UA-101 on/off or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable during playback or recording, the UA-101 will no longer be able to play back or record. Stop playback or recording, and then start playback or recording once again. If you are still unable to play back or record, quit all programs that are using the UA-101, then turn the UA-101 off and then on again.
Part of the playback is wrong: e.g., notes are broken off prematurely, or some notes are lost
Problems may be solved by making the settings shown below.
"Performance Options" settings of System Properties
If you wish to modify or verify the settings, use the procedure described in ""Performance Options" settings of System Properties."
