    i own a E1505 with the Media Direct Button...i also have a USB FM Transmitter (Griffin RocketFM) when using the RocketFM as my default Audio device running under normal media center XP it runs fine..but when i shut the laptop down and push the Media Direct button the RocketFM as my default Audio output playback device does not work.instead i get the normal laptop speakers. how can i make the RocketFM running under the Media Direct button my default audio device??...

    I don't think it will work at all. I use a USB soundcard, and in MediaDirect, it defaults to onboard sound. It could be that MediaDirect does not (can not?) have drivers for some usb devices (my usb keyboard / mouse DOES work).
