USB Sound Card for digital modes.

[Kenneth Christiansen]

Hi. to the group.
Thanks to the several people that sent me hints about my problems. I put
several of the letters together and came up with a solution that works
well for me.
 I bought the Creative Sound Blaster X-FI-GP SB1100 and it is now
working just like I was used to before the Windows7 upgrade. I was able
to make it work by plugging it directly into the lap top but I was short
of USB ports so I plugged it into the USB hub and had to find my unused  
USB hub power supply to have enough power to make it work there. I have
the keyboard, mouse, K3 and the Sound Blaster all connected to the hub.
I also had to replace the KUSB with another USB to serial coverter as
the KUSB still worked on one Windows 7 computer but not on this main
one. It would key the rig instead of polling the rig about once a
second. I reloaded the operating system and it lasted about 2 hours and
started giving me the same trouble again. So far the new USB to serial
card is not giving me any trouble.

Thanks for you help.

I've had more problems with USB hubs than with any of the adapters.....

I'm looking for another one now.
