Have to uninstall the driver and then install the driver using the cd

 

Can we get some clarification on why this is necessary?

It's basically due to how Creative's driver installation works. After the base driver that came with the product is installed, then updated drivers can be installed on top of it.

Would this improve the units performance?

What i was told by Creative Hotline was that it does not play back encoded signal. Not sure what kind of signal is output by my macbook pro, but i do not think it is encoded.

Disappointed:(

Maybe encoded signal would be like a DTS stream and what not?

When doing product installation through Creative's guidelines, it usually means that there will be less chance of issues occurring, so it ends up giving better results.

Anyone think the USB HD would be able to power some Q701s?  An external amp is out of the question, the USB HD has problems with external amps.  I think grabbing one of these might be my best best outside of hauling a receiver around.
