I purchased a new Inspiron 8600 about a month ago. Unfortunately I didn't test my external audio card until just recently and I am getting an error when I plug it in saying "Power Surge on Hub Port. A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port." The device the causes this is the Sound Blaster Extigy external sound card, but I have been to locate two other Sound blaster MP3+ external sound cards that produce the same error. I have used this device extensively on my old Inspiron 8100 without trouble. In addition I have tested it on an Inspiron 8200 as well as other Toshiba, HP, Sony, and Compaq laptops, none of which report this error and all work fine. I have not been able to locate another I8600 to try it on, however. What can I do?
Thanks,
Aaron
