What operating systems support this hardware - specifically Windows 7 or 8? Somehow, I doubt it.

After much trial and error - specifically moving the transmitter away from the PC - I had it working for a while under W8. Now it has stopped working; I cannot get the transmitter and receiver to 'pair'. Not sure of the cause but whatever, it's now useless to me. To answer your question specifically, there is no reason so far as I'm aware that it should not work with Windows 7 or 8.

I use XP so I can't be sure about other systems. It uses USB so should work. However the receiver RCA jacks produce hum, so plan on using the mini plug and cord that comes with it. Doing that it works like a charm.

I have installed this device on both Windows 7 & 8 with no problems. I downloaded the latest Device Drivers from Creative. Here is the link: http://support.creative.com/downloads/?h=7 I installed the driver before plugging in the device. Check sound properties if no sound and make the "Sound Blaster Wireless" the default device for playback and recording.

I found it to be plug-and-play on both my win7 x64 desktop, and my win8 x64 laptop. By plug-and-play, I mean I just plugged it in, the OS found the drivers and installed them, and the unit looked just like any other sound card on the system. I never put the included disk into the CD/DVD drive on either system. When I direct sound playback to that card, it gets broadcast and I can receive it on the (separate) Creative SB receiver. Now there are some additional features that Creative includes in their software, and if that works or not, I cannot say, as I haven't tried it. But the basic functionality certainly works on Win 7 and 8. I found it to be plug-and-play on both my win7 x64 desktop, and my win8 x64 laptop.

I have no idea. I can't get it to work, but, in my case, I think it's operator error. I think it has to do with where I plugged it in on the stereo receiver. Waiting for someone who knows more about technology than I do to come visiting. My son has it, and loves it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Windows 7 and Linux both support this without any additional configuration in my house. It works great! I use it every single day.

Remote control stopped working when I upgraded to iTunes 11. Anybody not have this problem?

I have windows 7 and it works just fine. Not sure about 8. I'm sure it probably also has something to do with your sound card, but I have no insight into that.

I can't say if it works on Windows 8 since I haven't tried, but it works fine on Windows 7.

I couldn't get it to work on Windows 7, or find a driver that would get it to work on that OS. I'm not sure if they fixed it, or if there is an available driver for Windows 8.

Is it compatible with only windows eight desktop computer? I don't understand running windows 7 and 8 on the same computer.

FWIW: Have mine running on Windows 7 64 bit without problems so I'm pretty sure it works under Win 8 as well, your mileage may vary though ;-)

I run window 7 and it's works fine, not sure if it would work with Windows 8

No. It doesn't support anything, not even Windows. It has proven to be of very unwanted obstacles during installation. Windows doesn't have native drivers for it.

Not sure I do not run win 8. It should, mines runs fine in Linux environment.

THE BOX SAYS:OS SUPPORT: Windows (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista and Windows 7. Maybe you should be careful using it with an O/S not mentioned by the manufacturer and ask them ...

I don't know about Windows 8, I don't use windows 8, but I do run Windows 7 without any problems at all.

I apologize for the slow response; yes it claims to support Windows 8, though I have not personally tested it with that OS.

The System Requirements on the back say "Supports: Windows 7, Vista, XP (32-bit or 64-bit)" You could contact Buzz Tools at Buzztools.com to see if it will work with Windows 8 or not.

I run windows 7 sorry, couldn't tell you. But I couldn't see why it would have any issues.

Shirlene, I have Windows 7 and X6 works great. I don't know about Windows 8.

Sorry, I only have windows 7. I'd be shocked if it was not, however. Windows automatically provides drivers for these kinds of devices.

I have Windows 7 and no problems. Can't give you an answer on that question.
