Comments about Cables To Go USB 5.1 Audio Adapter:
After downgrading my laptop from Vista to XP the audio no longer worked and no drivers were available. Rather than upgrade again I bought this audio module which gives me excellent audio when I need it. Both on a big home entertainment system and on headphones this device plays high quality audio and better than what was in the laptop.
