... problem is exactly the same - all sounds are grossly distorted.

I've just noticed a further line in the Creative blurb under 'Introduction'
:-

"Easily hook it up to the USB port of your PC or Notebook and get ready for
major sensory overload in your music, games and movies."

A *major sensory overload* ?? Perhaps the distortion is there by design g

Seriously though, are you sure that the settings of the 'sliders' in the
various Volume Control Properties (on your System Tray) aren't set too high?
It's even beginning to look like your Audigy2NX USB sound card might even be
faulty. Are you able to try it on a completely different computer , if only
for elimination purposes. But it is still most weird that all sound devices
that you've apparently tried on your existing PC give you the same problem.

I have USB 2 on both ME and XP.
The device is connected to the Enhanced USB controller via a USB composite
device.
The user manual does not offer any help and the Creative diagnostics
programme that came with the device shows no errors.
The Creative web site didn't offer much help either.

Under *Minimum* Requirements, although it states that it is WinMe
compatible, it goes on to somewhat ambiguously say :-

Available USB port (USB 2.0 port required for USB 2.0 support)

Is it 'fully' compatible with USB 1.1 ? Does the user manual/help/support
offer any further advice?

Do you have USB 2.0 on your PC ?

If not, it might be worth/necessary to fit a PCI - USB 2.0 card. Won't do
any harm anyway, especially with a couple of (much) faster USB ports g

Just a thought g

Thank you for your reply.

Onboard sound is disabled in the Bios and no drivers have been installed

Ah..........has the 'onboard' sound been disabled?? There may be a
conflict between the onboard sound and the USB device. The disabling of
the onboard sound may be as simple as changing/adding a strap to your
MOBO or a setting in the BIOS, check with your MOBO maker to be sure.

The sound card is a USB device, not a PCI card. I chose this option
because I couldn't get either a Trust or a Creative PCI sound card to
work, or the onboard sound.

Oh dear - this does look, in this case, as if it's a hardware problem.

Which slot is the sound card in? - try moving it away from the AGP
slot, as these are sometimes locked together.
