Plug and Play Support for ASIO Devices
The Steinberg UR824 hardware series supports plug and play in Cubase. These
devices can be plugged in and switched on while the application is running. Cubase
automatically uses the driver of the UR824 series and re-maps the VST
connections accordingly.
Steinberg cannot guarantee that this works with other hardware. If you are unsure
of whether your device supports plug and play, refer to the documentation of your
device.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANTIMPORTANT
If a device that does not support plug and play is connected or disconnected while
the computer is running, it can get damaged.
Setting Up the Input and Output Ports
Once you have selected the driver for your audio hardware and have set it up, you
must specify which inputs and outputs to use.
PROCEDURE
1. Select Devices > Device Setup.
2. In the Device Setup dialog, select your driver from the Devices list on the left.
3. Make your settings.

Hiding a port disconnects it.
Ports that are not visible cannot be selected in the VST Connections window where
you set up your input and output busses.
5. Optional: To rename a port, click its name in the Show as column and type in
a new name.
6. Click OK.
