Hi Barry, At $49, (about £29) it might be just as well to buy a new one, even adding the cost of shipping. (See below) http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/products/soundcards/catalina /producthome.asp Failing that, you could return it to them under warranty, explaining that it was a gift, hence you don't have the receipt.
