Hi Fred,
I installed one of these units last night and after a bit of a wrestle got it to work on a PC using Windows XP and JFW 5.1.
1. Make sure you turn off JFW (or any other screen reader), before connecting to the PC USB port. This is because, once the connection is made, the default player in your audio devices changes to USB Speakers. The screen reader must be started after this happens or it locks up because the default player has changed. It's worth mentioning, that the same problem would occur if you started streaming, playing a CD etc, before connecting the USB device.
2. I found I had to turn the volume up on the Sound dialogue which can be reached from Control Panel. You can do this from a couple of places and it only effects the player device being used (USB Speakers).
3. I noticed an annoying tone when the receiving device was emitting audio. I found that by winding the thin wire antenna around the unit that this hum disappeared. Don't know why!
4. Another tip about tuning the device. Mine came preset to 106.7 FM. It can also be set to 106.9 FM, 107.1 ... up to 107.9 FM. These seven settings can be chosen by the appropriate setting of three dip switches. The switches are located behind a rubber pad which can be easily removed. This pad is easily located being near the end of one of the sides, adjacent to the USB socket. The documentation shows the settings for the various frequencies, I just tried them out till finding the frequency I wanted.
Good luck.
Stephen Jolley
