Windows Xp is built on Windows 2000/NT technology. NT releases the
configuration of the device when it does not find it at boot-up.

You can add a USB hub so that you can have more available USB ports. With
more USB ports, the user would not have to discconnect the headphones in
order to use other USB devices.
