I have an onkyo Se-u55 external sound card, but it doesn’t seem to work wth my TR1.  Anyone have similar problems?  The card itself is powered by teh usb connection.

What about it doesn’t work? Does XP recognize it at all?

On the external topic, any word of an external/pcm-cia video card…?

Huh? I’ve never heard of an external videocard (or PCMCIA). All notebooks need a videocard onboard.

Actually, a PCMCIA card can be a video card…but it would only be a secondary display adapter. Margi systems makes one for notebooks that don’t have external displays.

Thats a videocard or a video-out? I had a Margi PCMCIA card and it wasn’t a videocard, it was just a ZV Card with S-Video and RCA outputs. IE I couldn’t use it to render my graphics, I could use it to output them.

EDIT: I take that back, they do make an independent Video Card that acts as one…with a wooping 4MB of Ram…cool. You learn something everyday, I never thought of a need for it.

Windows doesn’t recognize what it is, but it does recognize that there is something there.

the weird thing is, it’s not like i’ve ever had to install any drivers for any other system for windows to recognize it. Only the TR has this problem.

It might be a problem with the USB port. Did you try plugging it into the other USB port?

Most external USB sound cards shouldn’t need drivers.

yes, of course i’ve tried both ports.

I was more interesetdin knowing if anyone has had a similar problem, or success with the se-u55 (or maybe the audigy).

:x yeah man, it happend to me too.
I bought a terratec© usb soundcard for performing live.
But the sound card didnt get power enough from the usb , i think…..
The thing was that it didnt work, also win xp had some misteriouse problems to finalyze the install. And in the reeboot the terratek task bar wasnt ther (in the place is suposed to be) so i asked for help in the terratec support and they told me to change it for another, :shock:  brand????? so… i did.
im the most known Creative EXtiGy USB and…. it rocks, really. I thought creative was to “medium” mark but this model is jet seter.
Get It!
