5 Installation Procedures
The procedure for installing the E22/E44 requires that you physically install the card inside
your computer before running the Driver Installer.
The Driver Installer will install the required driver files and the Lynx Mixer application, as
well as configure your system to recognize the E22/E44.
5.1 Hardware Installation
1. Turn OFF the power to your computer system and disconnect the power cords.
2. Touch a metal plate on your computer system to ground yourself and discharge any
static electricity.
3. The E22/E44 Digital I/O is set to AES by default. If you would like to switch the
protocol to SPDIF, this is done with jumpers JP701 and JP702 to set the mode, and
switch SW200 to set the format. In the case of the E44 you can switch both Digital
I/Os to SPDIF or have one be SPDIF and the other AES. Remember that both the
jumpers and switches must be altered to go from the default of AES to SPDIF. To set
the mode, refer to the graphic below for jumpers JP701 and JP702. The format is set
using SW200: Switch 1 controls Digital In/Out 1while Switch 2 controls Digital
In/Out 2 (E44 only). The ON position selects SPDIF format and the ON position
selects SPDIF format.
4. Remove the cover from your computer chassis and select an empty PCI Express slot
in your computer.
5. You should refer to your computer system documentation for any special instructions
on installing expansion cards and peripheral equipment.
6. Unscrew and remove the slot cover from your selected PCI Express slot.
7. Insert the E22/E44 into the selected PCI Express slot and press it down so that the
contacts are securely seated.

8. Secure the bracket of the card to the computer chassis using a chassis screw or
retaining bracket.
9. Replace the computer chassis cover and reconnect the power cord.
10. Connect the Audio and Sync cables to the E22/E44. Refer to Section 5.3: Cable
Connections for more information.
11. Install software using the installation procedure for your computer type and operating
system from the following section.
5.2 Installing the Lynx Driver
Lynx Drivers and firmware updaters are updated regularly. The most current versions can be
easily downloaded from the Lynx Website: http://www.lynxstudio.com/ > Support>
Downloads. Make sure that you choose Lynx E44 or Lynx E22 as the “Product”.
If you are updating an existing driver, the driver installation program will automatically
remove the old driver when the new one is installed. When installing drivers, make sure that
all software programs, especially audio applications, are closed.
The steps below will presume that the appropriate driver has been downloaded to your
computer.
5.2.1 Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) or Windows 8
1. Locate the E44/E22 driver from your downloaded files. The file name will be
V2Setup###.exe (where ### is the version number of the driver)
2. Double-click the installation file to start the driver installation
3. Accept the License Agreement by clicking “Accept”
4. The installer will extract the necessary files to the C:\Lynx directory. Click “Extract”
from this window
10
5. If you are prompted to let the program make changes to the computer, select “Yes”
6. You will next see the driver Install dialog. Click “Install”
7. You may get a Windows Security Dialog Bog. If so, select “Install”
8. Driver installation will proceed
9. Finally you will receive a confirmation that the install completed successfully
10. The card is ready to use, no reboot necessary
NOTE: The driver installation process installs both the Windows driver and the Lynx
Mixer application. The Lynx Mixer application is installed into the Lynx Studio
Technology program group
