Very difficult to configure with Windows
1 Star
Very difficult to configure with Windows
I have had this for several months. It has been an absolute bear getting any sound to work with Windows. I have a new PC running Windows 10. Getting the driver to install, and then actually work, has been a repeat time consuming nightmare. I have had it working several times, on two different computers. Then something changes, such as I moved the USB cable to a different port, and it stops working. I uninstall the driver, then reinstall the driver. Reboot. You can see the device but when the PC plays sound nothing comes out. Absolutely infuriating. This has happened over and over again. Run troubleshooter, sounds work during the troubleshooter, then stop working when it's over. The windows driver is really bad. Stay away! I regret buying this thing. And there is no customer support. No way to talk to someone, no way to pay, nothing. Just zero customer support. Their other products come with customer service, but not this one. I hate this company and this product.Edit: Okay I may have been cranky when I wrote this review. Subsequently, I got the device working again. When it works I'm happy with it. The problem this time was I had to go into Windows Control Panel/Sound/Sound Control Panel/select the M-Audio speakers/Speaker Properties/Advanced tab - then select a sample rate and bit depth that works with windows. The driver and windows will set this to something that does not work (at least for me). Which means no sound will play from windows through the M-Audio to an external monitor attached to it. I found that 24 bit and 44100 works for windows. I found this is not an issue when recording music and using specialized software such as Audacity or JACK as those programs have their own settings.I'm leaving the one star review in place only because the Windows configuration and driver is so terrible and has been so frustrating over and over, and the lack of any customer service or helpful manual or online info. The build quality and the audio quality is excellent. And the latency is nice and low for JACK, recording, or just playing instruments through it.

I have the Focusrite solo and was, well, ok with it. But I decided to buy a new audio interface. In looking around, There were lots of brands that were jumping out. But I went on a hope and a prayer with the M-Audio 192/8. To keep this short, I can truly say, I got my monies worth with this interface. Now I'm ready to record. It works great and was way easy to set up.

While I've only had this for 2 days now, I must say that after days of agonizing research with dozens of video reviews I'm quite pleased. It suits my needs exactly.

My main usage requirement was something that could handle 2 instruments, mic, and midi keys running to my DAW recording to separate tracks.

This is my first Audio interface, and sound quality is very good compared to the previous ways I recorded audio to my PC (a lot of individual USB inputs)

While less important, I also wanted something that didn't clutter my workspace and this is amazing for that reason. I can leave the types of things I'll rarely unplug like mics, monitors and Midi plugged in through the back and just plug in guitar/bass or whatever as needed in the front. Perfect.

Couldn't be happier with my decision really.

My Specs:
* M-Audio AIR 192|8
* System: 2012 Macbook Pro
* DAW: GarageBand & LogicX
* MIDI: Yamaha S08 Keyboard
* Various Guitars
* MIC: AKG Pro Audio P220 Condenser

When this guy works it's great. The audio capture, the meters, everything fantastic. I think it's one of the best looking interfaces to leave on your desk without having microphone cables shooting out on your desk. The built-in DAC to the headphones was noticeably better than my other DACs.

Only issue was that I get crackles and pops when running this thing on Windows 10. Also countless driver issues, so I just couldn't comfortably hold on to this. I ended up returning but if someone has an Intel and it's compatible with that I would definitely recommend this one.

Upgrade from a TASCAM US-144mkII…
Same numbers - 192/24 bit both units..

BIG DIFFERENCE in sound quality when using the M-AUDIO 192/8 USB interface

Latency numbers are way down..
The additional “outputs” controls are very useful for the home recorder.

The Crystal PreAmps are VERY clean..

Would buy again.. just wondering what took me so long..

Thank you

Quite a nice build..

We are a smallish church, new to livestreaming and ordered this product "hoping" that it would work to connect our old existing soundboard to our new livestream software - and it did just that! The connections were easy to make, the instructions for downloading the driver were easy to find, and the quality of the sound is very good for the money. If you are looking for a way to bridge your existing in-house sound system to your livestream software, this could be the answer.
