    Cuz I got a question bout it. Recently I ordered an Optx Screen and a m11x + Tactx Mouse. The screen got in here first, love the screen. Soon I will get the mouse. After reading a review I saw that you cant connect the mouse using a USB Hub. Now the screen got 4 USB ports.

    Will the mouse not work if it in using the screen USB port? (Ofc I connect the Screen USBs with the laptop).

    Thanks!

    I have the screen and the keyboard and I hook up the keyboard to the screen with no issues. Sorry I don't have the mouse but I keep that directly connected to the system anyway.

    Typically when they mention "no hub" they usually really mean "no passive hub" the "active hubs" aka "powered hubs" should be fine, like the one in the monitor since it is powered/active.

    Another question: I just got my Alienware M11X, screen plugged in just fine sound is working but not the microphone on my TactX Headset. I got on the screen een audio in and audio out. Is de audio in supposed to plug in my microphone? Cuz when I try to record something with it it records with the laptop microphone...

    So how can I make this work? And is audio out on the OptX screen for the microphone?

    Thanks!

    Thanks but I don´t see another option at the microphone tab while the sound of the headset is working cuz I am able to change that but not the microphone.

    Is the audio in or out port for the microphone? Or is that a special port?
