Hi,
well using a USB Hub will solve the problem. I fit is USB 2.0 and 3.0
compatible then there should be no problem with that. Normally the USB
devices should identify themselves as sound devices and let windows download
the aprociate drivers. I have a USB microphone that did the job without
fuss.
Since I don't know your device I cannot help in finding the error. Since you
bought it you should try calling the support staff on that.
Heiko

Betreff: [audacity4blind] USB Headsets, sound cards and multiple port
adapters
I got a very fancy set of headphones for my birthday (a Turtle Beach Px5,
according to my search history). The installation process was really
complicated so my sister went to do it for me. She'd almost finished when
she got a warning that the sound card was invalid or something (I wasn't
there and we haven't tried it since).
I'm on a laptop, and I've looked through my system but don't seem to have an
inbuilt soundcard. The problem with getting another one is that my PC only
has two USB ports. I use one for my internet, and the other for memory
sticks and the like. I would need one for the headset, whether I was using
the wireless modem thing that makes it awesome or plugging it directly into
the computer (presumably to be charged). Then, I'll need another USB port
for the soundcard needed to run the headset in the first place.
Being an expensive thing, I'm hoping the microphone is of better quality
than the ones on the headsets I've used in the past. I read somewhere on the
wiki that attaching devices via a multiport USB adapter (which I'm going to
need if this has a chance of working out at all) affects the recording
quality in a negative way, but I don't understand how that could be, and as
I said, I'll need one if I'm going to set this thing up on my computer at
some point in the foreseeable future.
I need some tech-savvy list member to explain things for me. If there's a
solution to my soundcard problem that's easy to implement (meaning we don't
have to be tech-savvy or pay someone else to get the job done), I'd
appreciate knowing that as well. I would love to test this thing out in
Audacity. If I can get a decent recording from it, I'd be seriously rapt. :)
