Orpheus drivers

For Windows systems, Orpheus is supplied with a driver which provides ASIO and WDM connectivity to the device.  This driver is installed when the initial installation is performed.  Thereafter, this connectivity is permanently available.  It is not necessary to run the Orpheus Control Panel applet for applications to be able to use Orpheus; however, the applet is needed if any but the most basic control of Orpheus' functions is required.

The same is true in Mac systems, except that no driver is installed because OS X is able to operate Orpheus directly to obtain basic Core Audio functionality.  However, whilst some degree of control is possible from the Mac's Audio MIDI Setup, the Orpheus Control Panel applet must still be run to control the majority of the unit's functions.
