Audio device for Windows? I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a sound device driver for windows that will allow other applications to connect to the remote speakers.

Thanks for the response. It only solves the songs part, not the movie part due to the heavy delay. But I'd think the only way to synchronize sound and movie using Air Tunes would be to delay the movie playback.

Hello, before you buy this card i just want you to know that i have this sound card last 2011, but i did not actually use it, it got an issue on drivers, i install the driver that comes with it and it didn't recognize on window xp 32bits and win 7 64bits. I email the company and they sent me a link for the driver, i downloaded the driver and it works but it is a little bit freaky, i mean that some times i got sound and then when i exit from a certain game i don't have sound on my main computer. I open my media player , no sound . I have to reboot the computer in order to have the sound back to the main computer. It seems that it change the settings for no reason...or the driver is not recognize. I didn't bother to return the card because it was cheap $39 bucks and i just want to experiment the card for other use for now. If your not planning to have a 5.1 or 7.1 sounds i recomend just buy the regular Creative sound blaster stereo.( the one with speaker out, mic in and line-in green,red and blue.) I hope this helps.

Unfortunately the windows 8.1 Netflix app has a problem runnig with this sound card. There are no drivers that support Windows Protected User Audio Mode (PUMA). Tried drivers from every manufacture that use the cmedia sound processor - all installed- all exhibit the same problem. To play the protected content, the underlying audio driver must be a trusted driver; that is, the driver must be logo-certified for DRM. Unfortunately there are none for this chipset. I do however have a work around, turn off Protected audio in the registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Audio] "DisableProtectedAudioDG"=dword:00000001 Set the value from "1" to "0", reboot your system and Netflix will work!

It me again, I was able to set up the speaker with my daughter's iPhone5, easily done. Then I attempted to connect my laptop. It was discovered and connected but still would not play. Weird???? Hope you get some other responses

Yes, the device can be used as an external sound card. We have been using it as such for the last couple of years. The internal sound card in our computer does work but it does not support 7.1 (or 5.1 for that matter) so we purchased this device. It has performed well.

You can install Raspbmc that supports airplay. But there is a known issue with ios7 support - ios7 devices play only sound, not video.

I have 2receivers set up and I can play iTunes from a laptop to one or to both at the same time this works well if that is what you are trying to do.

Can not connect speakers to it & I'm not sure about windows 8 But you connect it to your PC or laptop for an external sound card like if the internal sound card goes out or if you just want some awesome and much much better surround sound Honestly I'd highly recommend this card Just remember to go to the web site to get updated software You also might be able to find out if it will work with windows 8

I don't think that iTunes works very well with non-Ipod MP3 players. You can use the iTunes software for Windows to convert to MP3 format but from what I have read the sound quality is not too good. I found this website that provides a good tutorial on iTunes.www.dynamicwebs.com.au/tutorials/iTunes-help.htm I hope this helps.

Sorry, my computer is a windows platform. Also, my Soundbridge gave out 3 or 4 years ago. After that we got 2 Logitech Internet radios (1 Squeezebox & 1 SmartRadio) and we love them!

I'm not sure, as I have not used Windows media. I have only loaded music using my itunes library. I would perhaps check on the Apple website to see what is says about Windows media and the iPod shuffle, as whatever you can do withe the land-based iod shuffle, you can do with this iPod.

I received this MP3 player as a gift and also really wanted to play audio books on it. Unfortunately I waited too long to try out that feature. From what I can tell it will download and play MP3 audio books but NOT WMA audiobooks which is most of what my library has. Its too late to return it... even if I wanted to go through the hassle of trying to return a gift. So I guess I'll give this to my daughter and go back to looking for a player that will play my books. Good Luck!

Hi, I have used this device to stream MP4 and M4V to my iPad, iPhone etc. in the interface on your computer you are able to play files from this device by streaming or just plugging it in by USB. I did have DRM issues when trying to play a video purchased outside of iTunes in another player other than iTunes, however. Those I could only get to play by transferring through the iTunes interface.

I use my on my desktop. It was easy to install (plug it in) and the sound is good but I do not know what other things the speakers can work on. Sorry.

Will it play MPEG 4 audio, because iTunes songs are in MPEG 4 audio, however in manual it says mentions AAC (.m4a)? Is the same please advice.
