Just a thought, from

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

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.
