Thanks, tried both of them to no avail. I was hoping I had been missing something simple. The card was working two days ago and is not working now. Tried different speakers, USB headset, everything I could think of but it says the card is not working even though Device Manager says it is.
Computers are supposed to save us time but I spend dozens of hours every year working on the things. Of course with 8 computers in the house for 6 people...
If I add a sound card it should be easy to disable the card on the MB but it worries me that I cannot get anything from the USB headset. Possible that until I turn off the MB sound card it will not allow it to work, or must there be a good sound card to allow the USB connection?
