Take care that the specification presented on the web page is not allways
updated.
Check the latest drivers too..
For example, the MSI version is not presented as supporting Audio Gateway
profile, but it does with  the latest software.
The same with the very popular Mitsumi Dongle (just the version WIF C5xxx,
not 4xxx
If you have a 4xx one, then you can change it at Mitsunmi (DE) for free with
a new one (just a difference in fimware, but you cannot upgrade it
yourself).

Check this one... it was less than 40 EURO including VAT

It works great.
The software is labeled MSI, but it is Widcomm based.
