I'm testing windows 10 on my DAW now. I'm using an Echo Audiofire 4 with the latest drivers. I was on Win 7 and these are the same drivers. On win 7 I was running 64 samples with the network disabled. On win 10 it crackles and pops and then crashes the system. I never had win 7 crash due to a driver lagging so I'd say win 10 isn't as stable as 7. It did crash much more gracefully, that's an improvement
I changed to 96 samples and it runs fine with the network running. That adds a couple ms of latency, but it's not a problem for me. I haven't checked performance setting yet, it's possible that the system will need to be optimized for the new OS.
So Echo Audiofire 4 runs with the latest drivers, but it seems a little slower.
using the Audiofire 2 here.
had issues with the 5.8 driver so went back to the 5.7, still issues so then went to the 5.7.6. still having random losses of the driver/interface, especially if an audio app is closed. I am using the onboard VIA chip which may be the issue (qv Focusrite posts). anyway will be looking for new interface in the new year, will be good to lose the mixer anyway...
