In the real world, you need directions to get from A to B. In the virtual world of computers, we call those directions “drivers.” Audio drivers are software code used to enable audio interfaces to be recognized by the computer operating system so they can be utilized by programs and have the appropriate data routed to them in a format they can understand. If you do not have the proper driver installed your computer may not recognize or work properly with audio interface — though today, many audio interfaces are “class compliant” and will automatically configure themselves to work with your OS. Drivers are often updated by the manufacturer over time, and you should make a habit of checking the manufacturer’s website support section for newer drivers every so often.
