I've been having fun with my Darkvoice 336i but now it's time to focus on the work rig.

I'm 99% certain I'm going to go with a UHA-3 from Leckerton Audio but was worried that the computer wouldn't let me use the device because of the "administrative privileges" that I don't have. I'm assuming the computer would ask for these since wouldn't the computer see it like I'm trying to add hardware? I am able to connect my BlackBerry and the computer uses it as a mass storage device just fine.

Anyone have any insight on this or similar devices and how they interface?

I think you'll be OK without administrative privileges. The DAC will show up as a USB audio device, and Windows has built-in drivers for that, so you don't need to install any software.

If you can successfully plug in your Blackberry, or a USB storage key, then you should be OK.

i'm able to connect my corda move via usb to work computers that i don't have administrator privileges on. a little bubble pops up, saying usb dac found, or something of that nature. it installs, and works. assuming that all usb dacs are detected similarly, you should be fine.

Great, thank you. I'll give this a go then

There are many privileges between Administrative and None. Some will allow you to connect the DAC, but not select it as your default audio output device. If you PC is really locked down it won't accept the DAC at all.

Is there any solid way to test if it will work? I was going through the control panel and did notice that I cannot get into "add hardware" however, I can switch the soundcard.

Yeah, ask tech support.

 

[cconnaker]

There is no 100% sure way to test this. Sometimes asking two different tech support people will give you two different answers as well. Good luck.

hahaha. And I thought I was being facetious.
