Yes, but you will need to update the software through creative's website for the volume and mute to work.

Don't know, but I don't think this is relevant. Do not forget, this is an interface NOT an external soundcard. If you run Windows, get a USB soundcard instead and use free VSTi's for the desired sound.

Yes and yes. You can find the drivers on the M-Audio webpage. I use Windows 7 64-bit, and I have two of these cables that work perfectly on it.

Wow, I am truly sorry that one is too technical a question for me. I purchased to replace a Sound Blaster card that wasn't compatible with Windows 7 updates. It works great and the sound is fine but other than it works for me is the best I can tell you.

Not that I know of, it should have been correct from the beginning, if your sound card was wrong, this has nothing to do with that card this unit is USB, it was correct on my machine after I installed it so *I assume* it would be correct on yours. Not knowing what your original problem was I am only making an assumption.

NO This item can replace the built-in sound card and/or adds the usb sound device. You may have to go to control panel and select the USB audio device as the default.

I am sorry, I have Windows 7 and therefore do not know if it is compatible with Windows 8.

The unfortunate answer is 'it depends on a few things' so the ultimate answer is 'no, not reliably and readily compatible with Windows 8'.

I use Win 8 and the actual drivers are in the OS. In other words it will work as a simple volume control knob right out of the box. There is configuration software which makes it much more useful. It's under 3mb.

If your computer is running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 of any flavor in either 32bit or 64bit it should work just fine. It's Bluetooth 4.0 which is the latest version. Bluetooth 4.0 is backwards compatible which means that even if your speakers are the older 3.0 version it should work just fine.

Sound card, yes; video card, no. But I use only the built-in sound card (I didn't buy a separate one).

Yes...It uses generic audio drivers so it works with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.

Yes it should replace your existing sound card. I hve an older pc and aftr installing Windows 7 the sound card would not work. By using this creative sound blaster plus external speakers that will connect to this sound card, I now hve sound!

it only works on Windows 7...don't have Windows 8.1, but you could use a 40mm or 50mm analog headphone instead?

My husband whom I bought this for said yes this is a sound card that can be hooked up to multiple items. He said his sound card broke and he installed this to replace it and it worked wonderful. You just plug it into a USB port connect the speakers, and he didnt even have use the installation disc he is running Windows 8. We hope this helps you. Anymore questions feel free to ask.Connie

It's a PCI sound card. You're motherboard may not have one depending on its make and age. Try finding your motherboard online to determine if its compatible.

It works with Windows XP so there is no conceivable reason it will not work with Windows 8. I use Audacity, the free Open Source sound editing software. It's great.
