I have been having trouble trying to find out if Terratec is going to release drivers which are suitable for use in Windows 7 with my DMX6Fire24/96 soundcard. I know it is not compatible now after using the Microsoft Windows 7 utility program which enables you to see what hardware/software will work in Win7. The soundcard has never been a problem but I would like to move from XP to Win7 if possible. For such a lovely soundcard I would like to continue its use. Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers

I have this soundcard too. Been using it for years now. It would be great if Terratec would come up with Win7  drivers.

I believe there are x64 drivers for these...but still beta. Don't know it they'll work with Win7.

Check out their ftp site for the beta drivers

I had the same card, but abandoned it when I upgraded to a new computer and win 7. The 6fire was a good card 7 years back, but the converters are not comprable to anything around nowdays. IMO even the creative lab cards converters are better than the Terratec now. I know this is not what you want to hear, but moving on to a new card is my advice.

I have the EWX24/96 which I believe uses the same drivers as the DMX 6Fire. I wouldn't be at all confident that mine would work under W7, so personally I'd look at the Echo Mia MIDI *IF* I needed to migrate to W7 for any reason. But I'm perfectly happy with XP Home at present and my EWX24/96.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Hi Tané,


I've got a Terratec DMX 6fire too, and I don't remember even seeing Vista drivers for it, so I don't have much hope for 7 drivers.  A shame, since it's a decent unit.

Just got this email from Terratec:

Hello Vic,

I'm sorry to tell you, that the DMX 6Fire 24/96 is 'EndOfLife', this means
unfortunately that there will be no other drivers anymore....

Sorry !


With best regards / Mit freundlichen Gruessen

This means we'll all have to get new soundcards for Win7.

I was afraid of that. Thanks for checking it out for me.
Cheers

hi Brian
I installed these drivers on my XP system with no problem. I have been useing the 5.40 drivers for over a year until I saw these thanks to an earlier post. They are for use with Vista if you are interested. They are version 5.53
cheers

Hi Tane
,
Do these drivers also work with WinXP?

Any changes/improvements in the card's performance?

Thanks.
