<<<normal laptop,>>> Wouldn't want any of those abnormal laptops. You posted in a section of the forum that made it not entirely clear what kind of computer you have. If you need to do this again, please post in the Windows section. Do you get the USB mounting dialog on the desktop when you plug the...

Is your UCA202 or "USB Sound Device" or something like that listed there? Is it selected? If you make music, does the blue ball sound meter jump?
