Original title: Trying to get a USB Microphone installed on Windows 7 (64-bit)-

I have a Radio Shack -3300128 Super-Cardioid Vocal Microphone that installed and worked perfectly on my laptop with Windows 7 (32-Bit), but fails to install on my new desktop loaded with Windows 7 Professional (64-bit).  I get an oSB - Audi  Failed X.

    I have an update for this.  The product below may be the actual culprit .  Anyone with information, please update or reply.

    RadioShack® XLR to Mini USB Microphone Adapter

    Model: 33-331  | Catalog #: 33-331

    Years later on Windows 10 x64, same exact problem. I see the oSB Audi device not working. But only if I connect to a USB 2.0 port. If I connect to a USB 3.0 port, then it's just a non-working USB Audio device.

    Strange. Perhaps the 33-331 USB to XLR converter is not compatible with modern versions of Windows, from 7 onward, or at least 64-bit 7 onwards...

    This Radioshack adapter is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PHANTOM POWER. I've been having the same problem with my AT2020 condenser mic. one like this will be better: http://www.siglermusiconline.com/store/pc/OSP-USB-Microphone-Adapter-w-Phantom-Power-p1479.htm#.Uh5bVBu1HHk

    I'm having this same problem. I've tried re-installing the drivers and restarting my computer but I can't manage to successfully install the oSB Audi driver
