I bought it because I went to a tower Dell Vostro 400 + M Profire410 audio, computer, Dell Vostro 3570 (I5-2410M IntelCore CPU@2.30Ghz, windows7 pro 64 bit, 4gb ram and 500gb hard disk ), no firewire port, so I needed a USB audio interface. As I was satisfied with the M audio firewire, I stayed on the brand M Audio USB.

UTILIZATION

In my config (see above) I can not stop having problems cuts, as if the USB port was disconnected (stop signal windows7 sound and the device has been disconnected). When I work on Ableton Live8 away, or I listen to music on VLC media player, the cuts are frequent, and my monitor Prodipe Pro8 do not appreciate! The digital interface, compared to the profire410 is zero! Before I could get there by the "Audio Preferences" Live8! Nothing to do here, you must make settings for latency and sample rate frequency sampling, outside (under windows7) and I can not go below 1024 samples with a latency of 51.3 ms general! And I still have more cuts!
I use it only rarely recording ...
I downloaded it two days ago, saying the driver be updated to Windows7, and then ... THIS IS EVEN WORSE!
So, this driver is zero! and in addition they are not updated, because the version I downloaded was actually the same as the previous one, and it works even less ....

GETTING STARTED

Simple installation.
General config is not easy depending on the OS used!
The card is compatible with laptop PC with IDE and SATA HDD Windows7.
Manual is a little too simple .. same as for problems, call M-Audio support, which is altogether exceed about this product ....

OVERALL OPINION

I did some research on the problems with this card, and I finally found out why!!
Initially I noticed that when I listened to music via the Internet, it "jumped" ... so why not?
And it's crazy as a response: in fact there is a compatibility problem with IDE SATA HDD, which are present in most of the markets ordis mobile! And yes, hard to understand that the manufacturer (Audio Avid and M) balance a new product that has compatibility issues with standard hard drives!! Proof, it remains for sale 10 months, then it was removed Market!
I feel I have been a little wrong, I trusted the brand and this is the result! I'll sell it and would take another brand, USB2.0, please, because USB1 .0 card is a bit light too!
