I believe all Compass 2s come with USB32.
You need to check the firmware version, or flash a known firmware with the upgrade toolkit that is provided on the website.
From there, once you're sure which version you have, you should install:
-1.1 for firmware #3
- 1.22 for firmware #4 & 5
- 2.0 for firmwares 7 & 8
The procedure is quite simple:
- Remove the old driver that might be present on your computer (go Panel Control -> Devices Manager -> Audio, video controllers -> Uninstall your "audio-gd" (firmware>3) or "SVB202" (firmware = 3) device and check "remove driver".
- Then you should delete from the VIA folder located in Program Files (x86) the following sub-folders:
VIAudUsb &
Setup.
- If you've got firmware #3, you should delete the
HIEND folder in Program Files (x86).
- If you've got firmware >3, you should delete the folder in which you extracted the USB-32 drivers (from the rar package. If you followed Audio-GD installation procedure, it should be located in c: with a folder name that match the drivers (e.g
AudiogdUSB32v2.0forwin)
- Extract the new drivers in c:
- Connect your DAC and power it on.
- Launch the installer and enjoy.
Note: the installation won't succeed if the DAC is off
