I purchased a second receiver to feed my tv system. The sound is just great through the pc speakers (Altec Lansing). Got it, set it up in less than 1/2 hour. I now can have internet radio all over the house. I have one receiver that feeds an amplifier for my outdoor speakers (Bose 5.1). No glitches, interference with my phones, or loss of wi-fi signal whatsoever. For example, Pandora radio works just great.
This device is easy to operate, has sharp styling, and produces nice sound, but it sends out a shower of RF interference that affected with my wireless network immediately. Functions would not respond, my wireless mouse did not work properly, and within a few minutes I lost my wireless connection to both of my laptop computers. I reconnected and plugged in the transmitter again, and immediately lost my network connection once again. Sorry, this is useless with a wireless network.By far the best music player IN CONCEPT is the Linksys "Wireless Bridge" because it works through your existing wireless network, except that it simply DOES NOT WORK a lot of the time due to bugs in the software.Why can't someone invent a simple way to play stored music via wireless into a stereo without expensive, gimmicky boxes and concepts that DO NOT WORK.
Veeeery frustrating. Every time I plugged into the USB port, a red circle with white cross popped up over the speaker icon in the system tray. I followed every direction down to the last bit, I worked several hours to make this work with my Vista laptop but never got even one sound to play. And Creative Labs support is virtually and actually non-existent.I have an old XP laptop and it instantly worked perfectly with Windows Media Player. When I clicked play on the Windows Media Player the media player placed a red x next to the first five tracks. I tried every conceivable combination and permutation of settings and variables and nothing worked. But I have no music or music subscriptions on the old machine. If I cannot get help, it's coming back Amazon, then you can sell it to someone else.
I think this is definitly worth the money to play pretty good quality music directly and wirelessly from your computer. Only issue is a hum that plays when music turned up high, for the most part however plays great. You just plug it in and it works.
This is not a glam product. It self configures. I set the Xmod up for remote speakers and plugged it right into my audio card.
One can set it up in two ways; either as a base for remote speakers or as a portal for wireless surround sound. So now whatever is playing on the computer in stereo (Media Player, Rhapsody, etc). It simply does what it is supposed to do and does it very well.
I then attached the front right and left jack into the base unit to recover my computer front speakers and another set of speakers (actually two pair of L&R) attached to the remote unit for the bedroom. Either way it works well. Signal is superb with no interference.
plays in the bedroom too.The Xmod could be set up for surround sound by plugging into a computer USB port. I tried it and it worked fine.
