My reply was NOT about your card, but the MAudio Transit card I had ( which does
work) and was to show that MAudio is not very helpful. Unless they have
changed, I would not be very hopeful of MAudio helping. Now, just as
Laditch managed to figure out how to load the firmware into the Transit, it
may be that someone will figure out how to make your card work.
