Here is the official word from M Audio regarding the use of the Delta series cards in Windows 7.
 
"Multiple Delta cards are not supported on Windows 7 regardless of whether you use the card in ASIO or WDM modes.
There are no plans to add multi-card support for the Delta cards on Windows 7 as the Delta cards are a discontinued product.
If you need to use multiple Delta cards for your recordings the best option is to see if your system can run Windows XP."
 
Looks like it's time to look for another interface

PJH, or whoever you are, for the oomph times, I told you that a lot of users of 1010s have been able to work with more then one 1010 on their system.
Check it out yourself on the M-Audio Delta forum!
Why do keep beating this dead horse for?
Who do you work for anyway, or do you have a gripe with M-Audio, because, perhaps, they used to be part of Avid ProTools?
Come on, it does work.
I am using 3 of them, and I will take a picture in the next few days and post it so that everybody can see.
PJH and all others on this forum, especially those who have thousands of posts, have a sense of civil responsibility.  A lot of people from all over the world are reading this forum, so please, just because you are well versed in the English language, that you can say these things that are not entirely true.
Do you guys realize that a lot of other people from other countries are reading this and they believe in it?
They think that "OK, these guys are from the US, and M-Audio is from the US, therefore it must be true".
Yes, some people are having problems with the Delta driver, and some people don't.
Those you don't, perhaps, they don't tweak their computers right!
Pleace.

Ok. Firstly, who I work for or what I do has absolutely nothing to do with you.
 
Secondly do not try and make accusations about whether I have problems with M Audio or not. That is none of your business.
 
The cards work for you. That's great. However, it is NOT working for me and a number of other users too. I submitted a report to M Audio technical support about this (after reading about other users also experiencing exactly the same problem on the M Audio Forum.)
 
I've attached M Audio's response purely for those users out there who might be thinking about purchasing these cards (as they still available in stores). They have stated that the card has been discontinued and they won't be providing support anymore.
 
The bottom line is that they are NOT working for some people. Please don't patronise me by brushing me off and saying that I haven't setup my system properly. I also take offence that you are accusing me of being untruthful. The makers of the card are stating that it is not supported. Just because DAN LE has stated that the card works does that mean it works on every system, in every application? I think not.
 
I fully realise that there are people reading this from all over the world and they need to know that this card might work but it also might NOT work. They can then make an informed choice.
 
So, to sum up. Dan LE, you might not be the Delta M Audio guru you think you are. Yes, you have had success with running three cards and they work for you. I'm very happy for you. There are also many users out there who are having problems with these cards and some have given up on them and replaced them with something else. M Audio themselves have admitted that there are problems with Windows 7 and they won't be providing multiple soundcard support anymore.
 
Flogging a dead horse? I don't think so.

Some years ago I helped a friend with entering the DAW way, installed one Delta 1010 card under windows XP, all was smooth. He added a second card and experience system shut down,
changed the power supply, improved tower cooling, 5 or 6 good years. After seven years, his computer crapped.
 
I suggested a new tower, win 7. With help from a gamer the system was up and running, however, with the two cards, the assignment between cards A or B mixed up. I went through the set up, all looked good at my place, but shortly that system quit. Because it was a build, he ranted with the retailer, no resolve.
 
He bought a cheap refurbished older win XP tower, the Delta cards work great with those towers, although they are older, replace every know and again.
 
I know the WDM drivers worked fine under XP but with that case different versions of win 7 was a crap shot, mostly mixing up assignments that really throw a 20 channel board for a loop.
 
Myself I ran an Audiophile 2496 for 11 years through a few towers, with win 7 no problem. But my only gripe with that card, was the occasional recording would exhibit what I called devils horns. The problem showed in two different towers, so I ditched that card.
 
 

Hi PJH, I did not mean to pick on you or anyone on this thread.
Note that I end the post with Peace.
All I am saying that it works for me, and for a lot of other people too.
Do you remember BoneStone, the moderator for M-Audio, when M-Audio used to be M-Audio? He said that it worked for him too, under Win7 64 bit, but there were a lot of users who couldn't make it work.
Too bad that we lost all those posts, since M-Audio was sold.
My point is that since it works for me and a lot of other people, may be there is hope that if anyone tweaks their system, that it will work eventually.
The point is it might work, and not black and white that it does not work.
That's all.
 
You might try to re-install the M-Audio driver, by:
1. uninstalling the driver with the card(s) present in your system.
2. then after it is uninstalled, turn the computer off, and remove the card(s).
3. power the computer up again with no 1010 PCI card(s) installed. This forces your computer to recognize that there is no more 1010 driver.
4. power the computer down again, and install the card(s).
5. finally, power it up now and and install the driver, since Win7 senses that there is new device(s) present.
Now you truly have a clean reinstall of the M-Audio driver.
Btw, this is from M-Audio and not from me, so that PJH does tell me that I am pretending the M-Audio guru again.
 
Anyway, to PJH, Vizio and everyone who has the need for more than 1 cards, that you guys are serious about making good music, since you need all that inputs and outputs.
Peace to all on this thread.

ps: Again be sure to turn off in BIOS:
. Core Turbo Boost.
. C1E
. PME
. HPET if you have on these things with Intel core.  I am with AMD.
 
 

HI,
 
Since I've some issue I'll share this one quick.
 
I had been running a delta 1010 with WDM drivers flawlessly with windows XP and Sonar 7 and then 8.0 and 8.5a; never had a single problem with noise, click, dropout and all other sort of garbage.
 
I assembled a brand new PC using W7 64bit, still using 8.5a; it worked "flawlessly. with WDM drivers; not a single problem.....and then came X1.
 
Same hw, same OS, but a brand new X1.....BUUUUG! Something changed between 8.5a and X1 and I can no longer use my 1010 with any (old, latest) WDM driver without getting clicks and other popcorn noises randomly. Moving the ASIO solvedthe problem.
 
The finger was quickly pointed at Avid's drivers but I never and I will never buy into it but I have to live with even if it is an aggravation.
 
 
 
The end
 
 

man i can't believe all the drama this thread has started... sorry bout that guys. i just had some questions , didn't mean to start a holy war...lol   latest update from my computer is starting to see more and more that this is a intermittent problem. this weeks problem is this......
 
i am running 16 mics into a snake(that works perfectly) - into my Yamaha mg32/14fx dual efx mixer(32-channel, 14 bus)
- into 2 delta 1010 breakout boxes  - channel 1/2 out of top box into channel 23 - that goes out into bx8 and bx5 speakers that are split with a stereo junction box i made to toggle between big and small near field speakers.
 
this week i got a intermittent  spike in track 5 . the fader light on the mixing board both out-board and sonar had some interference on it. i am watching these lights go up and down and thinking of you guys telling me the cans are bad in the delta 1010s.(which might be) so i shut down the system and blow air cleaner into all pots that have to do with #5 track and power up and it ran great.
 but the way it's been acting, i can't even be sure if it was dusty pots. like i said before if you restart the computer sometimes the ghost problems go away. sometimes i have to restart 3 or 4 times, but the problem is just not a constant controlled group.
  
one day it's great, the next it's not. restart computer, goes away. it's just not stable. once i get the money i am going to pay someone to replace the cans in these things just to know. when i do i will report back.
 OH AND PEACE....

I didn't read the whole thread but the different driver versions I would think could be eliminated as a possibility by uninstalling and then deleting any registry keys that may still be there (current user/software/M-Audio/Delta) and then reinstalling the 6.08 drivers...just a thought

Hi - I am trying to assist another forum member, and is having similar problems.

He also has 2 Delta 1010 PCI interfaces.  One has the full breakout box, and the other one is I believe a 1010LT, or something like that.

That thread is: 

This is still unresolved, but you might as well join in the fun.

It's my understanding that all M-Audio cards will give you an intermittent glitch when they are synced. Best to use one card it seems.

getting metal tank sounding distortion. if reboot seem to go away sometimes after the reboot. i remember some time ago trying out older version of the driver just to make sure that i had the best one.( new does not always mean best ) i am using win 7 - 64 bit - sp 1 . so i uninstalled 510 5078 driver(so i thought) and reinstalled each card running 6.08 driver.(the one for service pack 1)    
    
 the ABOUT screen on the delta driver  says 6.08.
but in the device manager / sound video game controllers / delta 1010 / driver /  driver version (says) 5.10.0.5078
, which i believe is the older version. correct? why does the device manager say 5.10 5078 when the 6.08 driver is said to be
up and running? is it possible that this mix up is causing slight distortion sometimes unless reboot? thankx, mike
 
  I had some horrors with my Delta 1010 set up. I found a card on line and solved all my problems. Your card may be fried!
Also, try cleaning up your break out box. I tore mine apart, sprayed every input/output and each of the buttons next the 1/4" inputs/outputs with DeoxIT® D-Series. You can find it at Radio Shack or your local electronics parts store.. You'll have to work the buttons as long as you can stand it (10-20 times each). I used a 1/4 inch jack to plug in and out of the I/O's.
 
Now my sound is pristine!

using asus i-5 , 8 gig , win 7 - 64 bit, sp1 , sonar x2a , 2(delta 1010s)
