its useless without the software cd, because it doesnt use a generic chipset, and uses a system driven completely by the software driver. without the driver cd, its useless.
if you have the keys for the software, i can give you the software for it? this would be a little complicated but can be done perfectly legally, as long as you still have the serial number for the software (on the paper sleeve for the cd.
the driver can be found here:

you will have sound, everything goes through the usb port. just connect the sound from the device that you are recording from to the red and white.
