I purchased this item on a whim. It arrived Monday. I plugged it in and installed the drivers that were included on an accompanying CD. After I had installed the drivers I unplugged the device and found the USB end of the device to be hot to the touch. I don't know what is going on but am uncomfortable having a device plugged into my laptop that is getting this hot.
I plugged the device in again just now and opened the accompanying audio control panel. It showed two slider bars for the microphone input. I get the impression that the builders of this device provided a stereo input but didn't expect anyone to use stereo microphones with such an inexpensive item. I don't plan to use this item because of the heat problem. I would like to hear of the experience of others. 73, Jim - W4BQP On 8/23/2012 5:07 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Weird.
