        Connecting and configuring audio settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        To get sound in and out of your computer, your Presonus AudioBox must be selected as the operating system\u2019s audio device. For most applications (not DAWs), this will be done from Sound Settings (Windows) or Sound Preferences (Mac). DAWs like Pro Tools, Studio One, Ableton Live, etc. have their own sound settings for selecting an audio device. When using your interface with a DAW, make sure to select your AudioBox USB 96 from the Playback Engine or Audio Settings window. Follow these steps to select the AudioBox as your computer\u2019s audio playback device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        IMPORTANT<\/strong>: The AudioBox 96 is bus-powered, meaning it is powered solely by your computer. Connecting to a USB hub may not provide enough power for your AudioBox. This is especially true with hubs that do not use their own power adapter (passive hubs). If the interface isn\u2019t being recognized, visit our guides for resolving audio interface issues on Mac and PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Connect the USB cable from the interface to your computer.<\/li>
        2. Navigate to your OS sound settings and set it as the default input and output device.
