One of my machines has limited expansion slots and the PCI slot is already in use - so I dug up an old USB sound card. While there is an accompanying driver + software suite from the manufacturer, it doesn't work on Windows 7 nd I have no use for it anyway.

So on one machine (Windows 7 Ultimate) I plug it in, it detects and installs the drivers, and I have full control over the volume etc. from the controls on the device itself as well as getting an output. Ie. it works 100%.

On another machine (Windows 7 Ultimate) I plug it in, it detects and installs drivers, I get an output from it, but I am unable to get any of the controls to function correctly.


Both are basically fresh installs of Windows so I have no idea why the controls would work on one and not the other. Any ideas?

is one 64bit? Maybe there's no 64 bit driver that works properly.

Guess it must be a hardware difference. How do the computers compare there?

Hmm that is a good suggestion, but both are AMD64.

It might possibly be the chipset - one is an Intel Q35 and the other is an AMD 780G.
