Features that May Interrupt an Audio Connection
If you use any of the following features while connected to an audio

Issues when Using a Capture Device and Playback Device
Simultaneously on a Target
On some targets, the simultaneous connection of capture devices and
playback devices may not work due to the USB hub controller and how it
manages the USB ports. Consider selecting an audio format that
requires less bandwidth.
If this does not resolve the issue, connect the D2CIM-DVUSB CIM's
keyboard and mouse connector to a different port on the target. If this
does not solve the problem, connect the device to a USB hub and
connect the hub to the target.

Audio in a Linux Environment

The following are known issues when using the audio feature in a Linux
environment.

Linux ® users, use the default audio device for playback. Sound may
not come through if a non-default sound card is selected.

SuSE 11 clients require Javas_1_6_0-sun-alsa (ALSA support for
java-1_6_0-sun) to be installed via YAST.

For Logitech headsets with a built in a mic, only the Mono Capture
option is available.

If you are running SUSE 11 and using an ALSA driver, log out of KX
II and then log back in in order to display the device. Additionally, if
you connect and disconnect the audio device a number of times, the
device may be listed several times vs. just once as it should.

Using the audio feature with a Fedora Core 13 target set to mono 16
bit, 44k may cause considerable interference during playback.
