This could be re-titled "Video Uses USB Bandwidth"

There is a finite amount of isochronous bandwidth available to all 
devices -- in the case of USB headphones, there may not be enough 
left for the headphones.

You can use the "Bandwidth" slider in the settings dialog to force 
the driver use less bandwidth for video, so that there is more 
available for other devices.

Also, many Apple machines have multiple USB busses -- plugging your 
Headphones into a different port on the computer (and hence a 
different bus) may help.

>Uninstalling driver fixes problems.

Because it is no longer consuming bandwidth?

Again, loggs of any problems occuring as well as a Sample of any 
hangs or high CPU usage would be helpful.
