I have ordered the 2496, but was just on the M-Audio forum and it is full of very angry posters. Almost a year of posts wondering when M-Audio is going to release a updated driver that fixes the bugs.
Anyone here having problems with this configuration? Any recommendations of a card that works well with Win7 64bit that I can get for around $100?
thanks

Are they older threads you are reading? M-Audio is *usually* good about driver support. Win7/64 driver- http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers&f=1061As an alternative, the FastTracks seem to be doing quite well from what I've heard.

Thread started in Feb, last angry post 3 days ago. They have not released an updated driver to fix the bugs since last November. http://forums.m-audio.com/showthread.php...ted-5-26/page15I went thru about 6 months of these posts. It appears if one has the "right" chipset and bios configuration, it might work without problems. I already have a bad taste in my mouth with the last 2496 I had that would not work with WinMediaEd(an XP Frankenstein). I don't want to start up that old headach again. My 2496 is suppose to arrive Monday. I will probably send it back unopened to Sweetwater.

Sure does sound bad over there. That would certainly scare me away. Fortunately, I purchased without reading this thread and all has worked out for me. I think I covered what I believe is the root problem in the prior thread and it just doesn't effect me. Good Luck.

One can find a thread like that for every sound device in existence, though.
The fellow there, "murky" - says he couldn't get his S/PDIF to work on the Delta card, then he says he got rid of it and got an E-MU card.
"murky" flames, gets the first answer to that post - and then asks, "What is a DAW?" *grin*
There are folks on the E-MU forum flaming E-MU for the exact same reason, though - claims that they cannot get the S/PDIF to work.
In the case of both brands, there are plenty of others who have indeed gotten the S/PDIF to work for them.
This "problem" could easily be a lack of understanding on the part of the user.
For example, they may not realize that the S/PDIF input MUST be set to clock from whatever device is plugged into it.
Or they may have some other problem that could be correctable.
If you return the device unopened, you will never know if you could have used it with your setup or not.
And - Is the S/PDIF important to the way in which you intend to use the device anyway?

I have to admit I have been looking around at alot of other PCI cards since seeing that maudio forum, and see the same issues over and over again with Win7 64b. It appears the card makers haven't caught up with the world of 64bit. I want to install a card and its drivers and have it work. If the bios needs tweaking, I want the driver software to do it.
The last card I had using WinXP, a TurtleBeach, worked fine without problems or need to tweak. Why can't, after over a year of release of the Win7 64b OS, are there still so many problems, with so many card makers?
I wonder how hard it would be to downgrade to Win7 32bit. I guess I would need a whole new processor to do that.

I don't think it is the card makers "catching up" in the case of the 64 bit Operating Systems.
More like a bad Operating System design model, if you ask me.
Think of this: There are all these different companies, all these different development teams, yet not very many if at all have been able to achieve 100% functionality success with the 64 bit OS's from microsoft.

I would give the card a try i have used a 24/96 for 8 years, and love it.
There might be an issue, but you won't know until you try. As far as rharv's suggestion of a fasttrack, the might work, but after all it's drivers are made from the same source. The 24/96 is a great card, don't over think it, for every bad post there are 10 others that have no prblem at all, they just have no need to post on a forum.
After helping out on software forums for the last 10 years i have found that 90% of problems are pilot error, mine included.

Well after talking to the vender and getting assurances that they would allow a return if I chose, I opened it up and installed it. The Control Panel wouldn't install, but it does play. I haven't tried recording yet. What is telling is the manual that gives instructions for installing with a Win95 system. You would think after 12 or more years since the first printing, they could revise their "new" manuals.

Don't rely on the "coaster" disk that comes in the box for your drivers. They are typically always hopelessly outdated. Consider that the mfr likely tooled up to make some untold large number for sale - and they may have been sitting on warehouse shelves for a long time as computer developments go.
Visit the M-Audio webpage, locate the driver support page on the site, fill in the particulars for your Operating System and such as asked, then download the latest drivers for you and install those. It is typically one easy .exe file.

Hi,
as Mac suggested, visit the site & download the latest driver.
I'm using an old M Audio usb Audiophile card with my Win7 laptop. ( One of the few things I have managed to get working on my new laptop.)
I went to the site & downloaded the latest driver, so far it appears to work ok.
I'm just waiting for my BIAB usb harddrive upgrade to arrive, so that I can use the real tracks.
I suppose that'll be one way of finding out if I've got problems with my audiophile.
best wishes

Oh, the first thing I did was download the latest driver that I could find on their site. It was version 6.0.2_5.10.0.5074, dated 11-14-09. If anyone knows of a more recent one, please let me know.
With all the issues I have read about, over the past year, I would think they would have a more updated one. Still no control panel, but I can get done what I need, without that.
thanks

Thats the correct \ current driver. If you look down on your lower Win7 tool bar (bottom right hand corner of your screen where the current tasks are indicated) you should see a Red Circle with a White Arrow head in it. That is the M-Audio Control Panel. Should have appeared when you loaded the driver.

Look at your Taskbar, next to the clock and see if there is a round red circular icon that has the white "arrow" stripes pointing to the right.
That is the icon for the Delta Control Panel.
Doubleclick on it to access.
it should be there if the install of the .exe was done correctly and its really hard not to do it correctly, although with some of the newer Operating Systems there may be an issue with being logged on as Administrator and possibly also turning off UAC in order to do the full install.
Doon't expect host recording programs to be able to bring up the Delta Control Panel from inside the program - even if they have that feature, I have found that some will and some won't. No big deal because that Delta icon is always available in the taskbar anyway, regardless of which program is open, just use that instead of the way the particular music program wants to open it. A lot of those are designed around the windows sound built-in soundcards and not for custom sound devices like the M-Audio. Of course, if you find that you do have a program that can open the Delta Control Panel, then you can use that when using that program or just always use the icon in the taskbar.

I had tried to access it thru RB and it wasn't coming up. It was hidden in my task bar. I now bring it up and it shows the driver info, which is the old one. When I go into remove programs to start over, it shows the most recent one. The main control panel-manage audio, also shows the old driver. I also am starting to get a message after clicking "enable input monitoring" that my ASIO driver uses MAC-based info and is not installed properly.
I removed all m-audio software and started over. Same thing. I guess I need to pull and reinstall the card, also.
I probably should take this to the m-audio forum.
thanks

None of that stuff on the install disk was meant for Win7 (my opinoin) . I used the downloaded drivers only and these installed everything I needed.

We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

And that’s just the beginning—there are over 100 new features in this exciting release.
Along with version 2026, we've released an incredible lineup of new content! There's 202 new RealTracks, brand-new RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, “Songs with Vocals” Artist Performance Sets, Playable RealTracks Set 5, two new RealDrums Stems sets, XPro Styles PAK 10, Xtra Styles PAK 21, and much more!
