Due to USB bandwidth limitations, you may notice performance
issues if you are performing several resource-intensive tasks
simultaneously (such as playing audio over more than two channels
while simultaneously recording audio, transferring large files and
using a high-definition web camera). This type of activity is common
when running instant messaging applications. In such situations, the
screen may go black or become unresponsive or there may be no
sound from the connected audio device. To avoid these performance
limitations, use two-channel audio output and/or connect fewer
devices at a time.
