Yes well, the package label is obviously wrong, The "blob" was the JMTek device in my collection, too. Apparently the sellers think that the two are interchangeable. The channel driver program prevents the driver from running with the non-CM chip. That does not mean it won't work, but if it does, you should also buy a lottery ticket.

The package I have is clearly marked Cmedia Cm108 USB 7.1 Channel Sound. But the identity is Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0c76:1607 JMTek, LLC. When I open the device, it has a round black BUG or blob in the middle of the board, not a clearly defined chip. There are no markings on the BUG. Thanks again, Paul _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users@qrvc.com http://qrvc.com/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users
