Default USB Pickup- How To Use?

I just got a new Martin Road Series that has a Fishman Sonitone USB pickup. Has anyone had any experience on using them? Is it as easy as plugging it into the computer and playing or am I grossly oversimplifying it?

I understand the benefits of using a mic. I just want to use the USB pickup a bit since the guitar has it. I searched google and this forum with little success.

Thanks in advance for any light you guys and gals can shed on this for me.

I would think you need to download a driver for it (either from the Martin or Fishman website).
then you select it as the input device in your computer's (and/or software's) audio device setup.

I had looked quickly for drivers. I will do a more in depth search this evening. I may just have to dig out a cable and play around a bit. I didn't buy the guitar because of the pickup. I loved the sound with no pickup just figured since I have it I might play around and use it a bit. Thank you for the suggestion.
