Trendware 2PORT USB KIT

Trendware 2PORT USB KVM SWITCH KIT W/ AUDIO 2 X 4FT 1.2M USB KVM CABLES (TK-209K)

$35.00 Est. at Amazon

from Josh from River Falls, WI, clickfrom.buy.com
makes two usb connection sounds every time you switch to windows xp.
from PB from Fernandina Beach, FL, clickfrom.buy.com
when switching it causes multiple usb gongs because it is turning off one set of usb ports and enabling the others, so it can sound like big ben if your sound is turned up.
from www.amazon.com
i can switch between sounds and video by a click of a button it works great no sound static no glare or fading.
from www.amazon.com
the addition of a hard switch, sound delivery is superior, i always had to jiggle the iog, same cable no jiggling.
from www.amazon.com
there are 2 connection sounds that you hear from the pc speakers when the switch is done (just normal windows sounds), so you know when control is passed from one pc to another.

this is a big deal if your bios loses its programming and you need a ps2 keyboard to get in and reconfigure it to use usb at the hardware level.only has 2 sound connectors.

IOGear 2PORT USB GCS42UW6

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from bvrev.compusa.com
last thing, if you switch a lot, you'll quickly get tired of hearing window's usb plug/unplug sounds.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
it doesn't constantly power the usb connection so when you switch computers it makes the usb unplugged and usb recognized sound in windows.
from www.amazon.com
it may not have the bells and whistles for sound etc.
from epr, www.newegg.com
usbnow i realized that i should select the kvm with sound instead.
from keithlm, www.newegg.com

Linkskey 2-port Dual Monitor and 7.1 Surround

$290.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.tigerdirect.com
i'm a little disappointed that the unit only comes with 2 sound cables.
from www.newegg.com
i love the surround sound capability.
from www.amazon.com
i am also very pleased with the other keyboard shortcuts that allow the sound or usb ports to be locked to a specific computer.
from www.newegg.com
cons: 7.1 audio was a big problem.i have a pair of zalman 5.1 surround head phones & a creative xfi fatality sound card that i tried on this.
from www.newegg.com
pros: looking for a kvm switch to support everything this pretty much does it, dual monitor, surround sound, and usb hub for printers or whatever you want to be connected to the active port.

IOGear 2-PORT USB GCS22U

$29.00 Est. at Amazon

from fred, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: windows will make a sound each time you switch in and out of it.
from Binkley, www.newegg.com
the switch does not "spoof" the background machine's keyboard or mouse, so every change is greeted with the ubiquitous windows usb device activation/deactivation sound.
from www.amazon.com
as previously stated by other users, when you switch between stations you hear the characteristc usb sound notification indicating that the usb device was disconnected.
