Thanks for the support
I too waited about a year for x64 drivers to come out
Have you found any tricks for getting around the dreaded random silence?
Unfortunately if M-Audio does not fix this soon (release an updated driver that actually works for at least over 24 hours) I am going to have to switch to someone else like E-Mu etc. It's a shame that a company that makes great sound (and related) hardware for affordable prices can not make decent drivers for their products (I have not used every product or even close, just through my experience with M-Audio and their Delta series 64 bit drivers). It's extremely counter productive, and leaves those who use Vista x64 left holding the bag. IMO Vista x64 computing is THE way to go for anyone who enjoys or works in (budget) sound production, it is much cheaper than buying Apple computers and Apple related products (You can increase the power of your DAW efficiently and affordably (not being stuck with 3.5 GBs of RAM etc with x86 or paying rediculous prices for Mac hardware)).
Since M-Audio's fan base/customer base is high end consumer entry level pro, they really need to either support their products 100% or cut them from production. Half hearted drivers and support/promise on older products is just going to frustrate the end user to a point where they will never want to deal with M-Audio again (e.g. go to another company for their sound needs).
I should be ranting on the M-Audio forums forgive me :P but I really needed to get that off of my chest
Any help or suggestions (for a work around or another product that works well with Vista x64) would be greatly appreciated
