    umm does it use USB1.1 or USB2 ?


    Either way you might need to get a more updated version of your USB drivers (I am guessing that is what they are telling you to do)

    Sorry if its not much help, but I cant find any information for that particular device in a language that I can easily translate.

    Wow did she ever get an upgrade.

    Anyway, I really hope that you are wrong Girl_, cause the online manual pretty straight forward states that there are drivers that need to be installed. They even have a graphic showing the drivers being installed.

    I would try doing the install as stated in the online Manual.

    gotta agree have a sound card from them that wont work with XP.. all theyve been giving is beta drivers.. would rather be using my philips card than this sound blaster but oh well.. at least it works.
