The U46 MK II is a USB 2.0 soundcard? I am not sure and did not find info on it. When I plug it in my laptop there is no info in the taskbar that this device can work much faster. This is the "error" message I got with old hardware that was using USB 1.1. So I guess that the U46 is not USB 1.1 and I should be fine, right?

I hope so! I can test the laptop for two weeks and I will see if it works as I expect

Thanks wazza for this hint! I will have a look at it!!!!
