Re: [LAU] Terrasoniq Phase X64 USB audio interface?

Hi Paul,

I was afraid somebody would say this :-)

Yeah, situtation with USB 2.0 looks really awful, I was just curious
when I read this line on

http://www.musonik.com/index.php/terrasoniq-PHX64.html

> WDM under Windows XP, Vista, 7 (generic USB)

To me this sounded like there is some kind of standard-conformity, but
so far I've not even been able to get this thing running properly under
Windows 7 on my notebook, either I caught some malware or the interface
is drawing too much power, the computer is behaving quite strangely...

Thanks for your answer anyway, I will post here if I find out anything
new...

Cheers
Hannes
