Quick Start Guide

About the Xponent Drivers

Xponent ships with a special set of audio drivers. These ASIO and CoreAudio-compliant drivers enable your computer to process sound efﬁciently, provide low latency audio playback, and allow applications to access all of the outputs on Xponent. You must install these drivers to use Xponent.

If these special drivers are not installed, your computer may still recognize Xponent as a class-compliant device. Operation in this mode is not recommended since the included Torq software will not run and other audio applications will have undesirably high latency. Furthermore, audio applications will not have full access to all of the Xponent outputs without the M-Audio drivers.

We advise all users to install the Xponent drivers by following the instructions on the following pages.
