Multiple USB Video Adapter Installation

Ensure you have the latest version of the drivers installed, otherwise, please download

them from the StarTech.com website (www.startech.com).

1. Complete the standard driver installation steps, up to when you plug in the rst USB

Video Adapter.

2. Connect another monitor/display to the second USB Video Adapter, then turn on

the display.

3. Connect the USB type A connector on the second USB Video Adapter to an available

USB 3.0 port on the host computer. The driver installation will begin automatically.

Repeat these steps for each additional USB Video Adapter you wish to install. Once all

USB Video Adapters are installed, reboot the computer. After rebooting, you may be

prompted to reboot one nal time; please do so.

Verifying Installation

From the main desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in 7 ), then select

Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Device Manager from the

left window panel.

Double-click the Universal Serial Bus Controllers category and the USB adapter should

be visible.

Instruction Manual

UBS32HDE: An audio device will also be listed under the“Sound, video and game

controllers” category in Device Manager. As Windows will only support one audio

output at a time, this will override the default sound card on the computer (if any),

resulting in no audio from the computer speakers. Audio will only output over HDMI.

If you wish audio to output from the computer speakers instead of HDMI, then you

must manually change the default audio device from the“Hardware and Sound”

settings in the Control Panel.
