    I have reacently bought a USB soundcard but there is something wrong with the USB audio device driver. When I start Sound station(the program that is required to use the soundcard) and click on the effects tab i get an error message saying "Filter driver was not loaded or failed! please re-plug the device and try again." I am currently using vista home premium 64bit. Anyone who knows a way to fix this problem?

    Would help if you said what the USB sound card that you are using was. Make and model.

    Yepp, that's true.

    Also, something else I recently found with my creative card...

    My driver either was broken or broke.

    Unistal the device an drivers in the device manager, then plug it in again and let windows find the drivers.

    And is t all programmes, or just a specific programme that's causing trouble?

    I have the same problem with Vista Ultimate 64bit. Have you managed to fix the problem?

    Sorry I'm seeing this a bit late.

    I didn't expect it to be hardware - so that it works fine on another computer is good :)

    Now, you said you unistalled the soundcard and the programme - let me guess a bit:
    You unistalled the soundcard - did you go into device manager and remove the device, or did you unistal the actul driver either in the device manager or the programmes list.
    Your phrasing sggests you just removed the device - but maybe you didn't.

    Assuming you unistalled and reinstalledthe driver.

    You removed programmes - I assume you removed Flash player and reinstalled it?
    If you did and the problem persists - check version numbers between your computer and the one without the problem.
    (Internet explorer - in one of the menus "manage add ons")
    If the Flash player on the "working computer" is older - then your only solution would be to find an old flash player installer...

    Did you instal unistal the udio prgramme too?
    I don't think that is necessary.

    By the way, you're not somehow bypassing the windows Kernel, are you or do anything else that's specilized with the audio on your "problematic computer".

    Same problem on the same card?

    Its possibl that yout drivers are buggy (which shouldn't happen nowadays) or that you maybe rn 32Bit drivers?

    The fact that its 64Bit can make a difference, but doesn't have too.

    If youe hardware is exactly equal it may be an idea to compare other configurations with the OP.

    Edit: I'll ask for this to be moved to the OS section - you're not looking for an accessory - may get more views too.
