Problem with usb soundcard and exension chord
hey people!
this is my first time making a forum thread and my native language ain't english
but i try to explain my problem as good as possible.
I have an asus mzn mx se plus which has 8 usb ports. (6 at the back and 2 at front) i use them alot for things like my mouse and wifi adapter.
i recently bought an Hercules gamessurround muse pocket xl LT3 Soundcard.
its an 5.1 high definition soundcard by usb and it works like a charm!
now becouse i want to listen music from the pc in my earphones while lying on my bed or sitting at my other desk doing homework or stuff. also i play the guitar and its a bit more pleasant for my parents to wear earphones. but i want to walk around freely so i need a longer cable. i bought an usb extension chord/cable (5m) i wanted to plug it in at the front becouse those two are both unused ( 1 is broken *pulls sad face* )anyway i plug my soundcard in that chord and i hear an sound. but its not recognized.. also the light that supposed to turn on blue also doesnt light up!.
what am i doing wrong?
Things i've tried:
- differnt usb port. none of them work!
- pull out all the other usb devices (doesnt work either)
- putting the cable into my laptop (works but i need it to work on my pc for different reasons)(like guitar playing becouse software is to heavy for the notebook)
- adding other devices to the cable (they all work)
- searching the bios doesnt help either.
also i tested all the usb ports with the usb sound device without he extension chord, the all work but i realy need the long cable.
i dont know if you quite understand what i mean but i cant find an answer anywhere.
please help me i would be very gratefull!
