I am attempting to use 2 USB sound cards for 2 separate feeds. At first when I plugged in the one, it self installed. When I plugged in the second, it asked for drivers. I manually installed it from the list of installed devices but even though it shows up, I'm not sure if it installed correctly because:

As soon as I start both feeds, the audio becomes garbled on both feeds. When I stop one of the feeds the sound returns to normal. I am using USB 1.1 ports. Do these devices need 2.0? Any ideas or help is much appreciated.

Garbled audio is back. Any ideas or help? Listen to my NYPD Zone 11 feed in Bronx NY.

These USB sound cards are known to cause interference at times. Most of the time, it's best to buy a few extras so you can return the problem causing ones or throw them out.

These are very cheap for a reason.

Thanks HVScan. But I dont think its the USB cards themselves. They all work fine individually. Its only when I actually start more than one feed using them that the problem starts. Right now I have them all connected. I only started the Zone 11 feed and it sounds fine. If I start another feed the problem will start again.

I solved the problem by just adding a second computer. Still wonder what caused the issue though.
