Hi Peter,

Thanks. I did follow the instructions exactly as Logitech describes. It
seems to me that it is a Windows XP SP2 specific issue because I have
several USB audio devices and none of them work with my XP system. At work
they are fine on my ME machine. Unfortunately, I don't want to chat at work
:D

What I think I need is a way to get XP to install the default USB audio
drivers somehow.

None of the devices I have, except the Webcam, came with a CD. They claim
that they are 100% Windows XP compatible and don't require a specific
driver.
