Microsoft Digital Sound System 80
Does anybody else out there have one of these?! I won it in a Microsoft
competition many years agto, and it's a really good sound system ... but it doesn't work under Vista! I still have the original installation disc, but it says "... the installation file is missing a necessary entry ... ". Conveniently, it doesn't tell me what the missing entry might be, and advises me to "contact the manufacturer".This is about as close as I can get! Any hints anyone? |

Microsoft Digital Sound System 80
Like many Microsoft branded products this was a one version only product.
Unlike Vista the Microsoft speakers were a good value for the money. For reasons I cannot explain the conncectors for one of the speakers simply fell into one of the boxes, presumably the glue holding them deteriorated. after just a couple of years of use in a cool, dry environment. The comparisons to Vista are inevitable . . . I beleive there were more disadvantages to using them via the usb port than via the 3 pin stereo connected to your sound card or motherboard sound. Hence you really do not need drivers for them if yours still work. |

Microsoft Digital Sound System 80
I have a Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 (DSS 80) that the Subwoofer has
stopped working. The Left and Right speakers are working fine. The master volume on the Right speaker works fine as well as the volume control on the screen and they are syquronized (sp?) with each other. However, the volume control for the Subwoofeer on the Right speaker does nothing. Is there a fix for this? I am using the DSS 80 with Windows XP so I am unable to load the software. HELP, please!
