Windows XP recognises the PCM2702 and installs it as "USB speakers", as does every operating system after it. There is no control panel or system tray applet like other soundcard drivers, so it seems invisible.

You will have to plug the DAC in, leave it for a few minutes, it will appear under the list of installed sound devices in Device Manager. There should a device saying "USB speakers".

If it does not install correctly, it will show up with a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager. It is best to try another USB port, but once the driver is installed you can pretty much plug it in into any other port.

Normally the driver sets itself to default output device, but if it is not doing that, then go to Control Panel and manually change the sound default device to "USB speakers". The volume control needs to be set at maximum. At default output level (half) the sound volume is too low as it is a logarithmic control, not linear like most other drivers.

Edit: you need the driver.cab file in your windows system directory for auto-install to work correctly.
