    Fellow Vaio users, I'm stumped and frustrated...
    I have a VPCZ1390X that in day to day usage is connected to the PRZ10 Port Replicator.
    I wanted to upgrade my audio so I bought a USB DAC (Nuforce Icon HD).
    When the DAC is connected to the Port Replicator I get static and popping through the speakers. When it's connected directly to the notebook, there's no problem. I spoke to Nuforce tech support, and they say it's a Windows 7 issue.

    Anyone else experience this and or have any solutions? It's incredibly frustrating. :confused:
