Chord Mojo User Manual

Connect Mojo to the host computer, phone, or tablet by inserting a USB lead into any available USB
socket. To support high sample rates (96Khz and above) the USB socket on the computer must be USB
2.0 or above. Once connected insert the other end of the cable into the USB audio socket on Mojo.
If using a Microsoft computer and the driver hasn’t been installed on your computer, an automatic
driver installation wizard may appear.
Note: If you want to avoid the automatic driver installation, please connect Mojo to the computer after
manually installing the driver.

Configuring sound settings on a Windows PC
Configuring a PC with Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8 or 10
A Windows PC can use Mojo in three different ways:
Direct Sound (DS), Kernel Streaming (KS) and WASAPI. DS is suitable for players which can’t
operate in Kernel Streaming mode nor with WASAPI or for Internet streaming; KS can be chosen (for
better performance) with players which can operate in Kernel Streaming mode (such as FooBar,
Winamp, Monkey Media, JRiver). WASAPI (Windows Audio Standard API) is a standard interface for
audio players which allows to get the same performance of KS with applications which can’t operate in
KS mode, at the cost of higher CPU load.
