Hi Folks...
 
I am planning to assemble a new PC, with Windows 7  64 bit (possible Ultimate edition). I have in my existing system which is based on Windows XP home edition, an EMU 1616 card which I intened to use in the new Windows 7 machine. Does anyone one know of any compatibility issue between EMU 1616( not 1616m, just 1616) and Windows 7 . Do let me know. Thanks.

I have the 1616m version, and regardless on what version you have, i've read how sketchy the driver support is for Win7. 

There are beta drivers for Win7 available on EMu's site but its not a sure guarantee on whether it will run properly. Some have reported only being able to record up to 48Khz.

For now I have stuck with using the unit on the 32-bit version since the drivers are stable. 

I am in process of trying to test the card under Win7 64 so we will see.

Hi AVTechman,
 
Thanks for the message. I bumped across a posting in another forum in which a bloke claims that his 1212m works perfectly on W7. He goes on to say it should wok on all creative PCI cards.

Do post here the results of your tests with the card on Win 7 64. Thanks.

I've been using the Vista x64 drivers with a 1212m since Windows 7 came out without any issues.

I've been using my card for quite a while. While my card is on the fritz now, it was working very well in win7 64bit. The beta drivers are good but what concerns me is that they've been in beta since July. It seems that support is lacking. That's why I'm getting a better quality sound card.

I'm using EMU 1820m. 

Stable at 10ms with ASIO drivers in X1.

1212m here.  It works OK with PE 8.53 after the latency check.  I haven't been using a lot of tracks with yet.  Oddly, Win Media Player won't work with it.  Haven't spent a lot of time debugging that, though.  I may not bother with it.

Good Information.

Oddly, Win Media Player won't work with it.  Haven't spent a lot of time debugging that, though.  I may not bother with it.

Check your matchmix DSP.   You need to have a channel for both ASIO and Windows (I forget what it's called).  Assuming you are using ASIO in Sonar.

I'll have a look.  Thanks.
