 Transfers SPDIF digital audio from DAT flawlessly July 12, 2010
Peter V. Brown (Woodbine, Maryland United States)
I have owned this card for over five years. It works properly in my Windows XP and Windows 2000 systems. I use it to transfer SPDIF .wav files to my hard drive, and to input analog audio to my hard drive. It works fine. I have not used the MIDI features.
great audio card June 8, 2010
Michael R. Nowak
This audio card is great. I've used it for home recording, and I get fairly good quality recordings out of it. Its audio output is also significantly better than an onboard audio device or even a sound blaster card. The lows out of this really shine, and it gives you crystal clarity on all bands.
Professional sound card for professionals April 11, 2010
Arboleda Crisostomo (Honolulu, Hawaii)
Installing and configuring this sound card is not for the faint of heart. But audio professionals would probably find the experience par for the course. Once you get that card up and running however, everything is fine in this world. Excellent sound, simple to use, at a great price. All the pain was worth it.
 No customer service--customers too annoying January 5, 2010
Larry (UT)
bought two of these in order to slide old PCs into my audio component stacks and use them as digital jukeboxes. Installation is not all that simple because the existing PC audio drivers battle with the new audio card. There is a long list of driver installs and system changes necessary to make the card work. Unfortunately, the manufacturer skimped on printed instructions--they haven't changed in years and still refer to Windows 98 (no kidding). To further cut costs, M Audio no longer bothers to answer the phone all that much. I got intelligent US based help with my first card but with the second I've never been able to get someone on the phone and so that PC is silent. Avid/M Audio's stated call center hours are M-F 9-5 Pacific time but closed from 12-2 for training. Even within that limited window, I waited for more than an hour and still never got to speak to a human. And if you are calling more than 30 days after buying the product...they provide a number for "support" from a third party for $2.60 a minute--not US based and not intelligent. Good luck with that.
If you are tech savy, you may want to take a chance on this card. If you need instructions or after purchase support, forget it.
I was planning to buy a third card but passsed because of the poor customer service. Glad I did. I found the ASUS Xonar Essence which offers superior sound quality...and even an up to date installation manual. Guess they want repeat customers.
Works perfectly; buy it! November 7, 2009
K. Rose
I popped it in my computer, installed the drivers, bingo! Quickest install ever. You can download newer drivers from their website if need-be.
It's been working great for the past few years now.
