Al is the man! The flimsy wall wart that came with the Off-ramp 3 tested okay for 12v. But, the voltage did seem to fluctuate a little. I substituted another one that I had. Bingo! Both old and new laptops recognized the device instantly as Empirical 1.1. Yeah! Al, which do you recommend for a new power supply - this one with 12v or that one?
The bad news is that no music is coming out of the laptop with Windows 7 Pro. Music is coming out of the laptop with Windows XP. Allegedly, the Off-ramp 3 is plug and play - unlike Versions 4 & 5. But according to the Empirical Audio website, it says here that WASAPI is needed. I downloaded and installed Foobar with WASAPI and ASIO4All to the laptop with Windows 7. Still, no luck with getting audio.
