Hi,
I bought my Pico used and it didn't come with a user's manual.  I assumed that to use the DAC I would just need to plug in the USB port to my computer to make use of the DAC.  When I plug it in I get no sound.  I know about assumptions but another thing I assumed or hope is that the DAC is Operating System agnostic.  My laptop is a Sony VAIO running Linux as an Operating System.  Normally when I plug anything in via USB it shows up as a device of some kind but this Pico doesn't.  This has me worried and thinking that, perhaps, the DAC is non-functional.  Any input and insight will be really appreciated.
 
Respectfully,
Scott

It should show up as a sound device or sound card. You might have to go into audio properities and select it. I would test it on a windows system to make sure the dac is working if you are in doubt.
