While testing Creative TravelSound MP3 on PC motherboards with integrated Universal Serial Bus
(USB) ports, we encountered a small number of motherboards that do not meet the USB specification
exactly. These and other non-USB-compliant motherboards may not operate correctly with Creative
TravelSound MP3. Fortunately, the manufacturers of some of these motherboards have released new
versions of motherboards or BIOS to address the problem.
If the setup program warns you that your motherboard's USB port is incompatible with Creative
TravelSound MP3, or if the player does not work with your system and you suspect that the problem
may be related to your PC's USB port, the following is a list of available options:
1. Contact your PC vendor.
Your PC vendor may be able to upgrade your motherboard or its BIOS to a newer version that
addresses USB incompatibilities.
2. Use a PCI host adapter that provides USB connectors.
If you are not able to upgrade your motherboard or its BIOS, we recommend this approach.
3. Attach Creative TravelSound MP3 to a powered USB hub.
Some USB devices (such as monitors) also operate as powered USB hubs; you can also buy
dedicated powered USB hubs which are to be attached to your PC's USB port. However, in some
cases, attaching a powered USB hub to a non-USB-compliant USB motherboard connector will not
solve the problem.
