A friend who used WXP for years on his laptop to use our church's
Audiofire finally had to get a new laptop. It has Windows 7. To date, he
has been unable to get the Audiofire to work with Windows 7.

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

> 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

Hi all,
I just received my new toy, a Terrasoniq Phase X64 USB sound
interface. Of
course it does not work plug-n-play in Linux, just as expected :-)
But maybe
it's still possible to get it to run with a little more effort - does
anyone
here have a hint for me?
a quick google reveals it to be a USB 2.0 audio interface. unless it
is the first such device to use the defined 2.0 audio class driver
standard (which is unlikely, as no other USB 2.0 audio devices have
done so), then its unlikely that you will see this work on linux
unless:
a) the manufacturer releases enough information and someone wants
to write the driver
b) it has a "hidden" USB 1.0 compatibility mode
The situation with USB 2.0 is excrebable: AFAIK there are still no
commercially released devices using the driver standard - they all
come with their own per-device drivers, totally unlike USB 1.0 where a
single driver for each of Windows, OS X and Linux (and perhaps even
the BSDs) takes care of pretty much all devices. if the manufacturer
doesn't provide a driver for (e.g.) Snow Leopard or Tiger or Win7 or
WinXP, then you're screwed on that platform too.
