A:AnswerI used this with a desktop PC and it was a plug and play. I have tried a different brand in the past on a laptop and as you indicate, there was sounds coming from it but it wasn't being recognized by the laptop. The packaging indicates if there are issues with installing the product to call 800-243-0000. I would go that route before returning it to the place of purchase. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerLooking at the packaging; you may not be able to use this on a XP computer. The oldest it lists is Windows 7. You could call the manufacturers customer service and inquire. 800-243-0000.
