I checked out the flight sim web... my program is very old but worked great.. the company no longer supports this product and state it may not work with Windows 10 - but it did on my old system.. suppose it's time to upgrade.. I did check out the Device Manager - saw nothing with a yellow triangle.. all looked OK.. I'm not going to worry about this.. thanks for the suggestions.   Scott
Just spent 2.5 hours with Dell chatting and on the phone. I have a USB Snowball mic, it's a decent mic I've used for years. I used it on my old XPS system, on an Inspiron 8330, and other computers. Works great. On my new system (XPS 8940), I got yesterday, it's not recognized. Dell tried 2 hours worth of fixes - nothing worked. Then I was told this is not covered under basic warranty. Strange, the system is not even 24 hours old yet. I also tried a radio control flying program / hardware called AeroFly Pro, I use it to train for competition to learn routines. This program comes with a USB hub of sorts that my R/C transmitter plugs in to. This allows me to use my transmitter I'll be flying the plane with to get familiar with switches I use. This did not work either, The new XPS did not recognize the USB hub the flight software came with, and yet I used it for years with my old XPS system (8700 as I recall - but don't hold me to that). The Mic worked with the old XPS system too. Now I may be returning the XPS 8940. It's such a bummer as I like it a lot, but this is 2 USB devices that do not work. Strange to me.   Scott
