Hey, I have the same problem. I was just about to post when I found yours. Sounds like we have the same problem, no sound when I plug the cable in, Aerofly doesn't see it. I've tried it on two other computers, neither of which will recognize the cable. I've also tried two different transmitters, although that's obviously not the problem. I guess you're right, they do "just break." I'm hoping we'll get some support on this. If there are two people talking about it here, I'm sure there are others with the same problem.
