Aryeh-
I loved this approach. I got the Hardware IDs, they are:
usb\vid_047&PID_D055&REV_0113&MI_00
usb\vid_047&PID_D055&MI_00
unfortunately, neither showed up in the Microsoft Update Catalog.
I can't just "steal" the drivers from the Windows System Folder on the
working system to the non-working system, right? When I tried, I wasn't
able to point to those new drivers.
Keep those ideas coming, folks.

Hello,
Maybe it is possible to find the correct device driver with a little
assistance from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
1. Go into a VM (or a natively-running version of Windows where
the device is running).
2. Open the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC) and scroll down
to the 'Sound, Video and Game Controllers' section (name may
vary slightly based on your version of Microsoft Windows).
3. View the Properties for the 'Other Device (DSP55 Adapter)' or
whatever it is detected as in your version of Windows and go
to the Details tab.
4. On the Details tab, go to the Property list and 'Hardware IDs'.
In the "Value:" field, you'll probably see something like
"usb\vid_0d8c&pid_0006&mi_00" (or something similar). Copy or
write that down. If there is more than one listed, write the
other's down, too.
5. Visit http://catalog.update.microsoft.com web site, and try
doing a search on the Hardware ID. If any device driver
packages show up, download and attempt installation.
I have never had a problem doing this, but the usual disclaimers apply (back
up your system before attempting driver installation being the one that
comes to mind).

Aryeh Goretsky
