problems with port replicator 74P6733

#1 Post by sage529 » Fri Aug 20, 2004 1:51 pm

I just installed a Creative Audigy 2 NX external soundcard. When i hook it up to the thinkpad itself, it works fine, but if i plug it into my port replicator, it isn't recognized. Also, with the port rep, i'm having trouble with the ps/2 ports... my keyboard works, but the mouse only sporadically. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Well, it could be a hardware problem with the Port Replicator but many USB devices specifically state they are not guarranteed to work with a USB hub or extension cable (MP3 players and cameras in particular). Check the documentation that came with the mouse and the soundcard to see if it HAS to be connected directly to the thinkpad USB ports.
