I used the emi 2|6 once with pd under Windows ME on my Compaq laptop. It seemed just fine, I'll try it a little more today to see if I can get a crash.

I have the 2|6 on a mac - so I'm obviously not running it with pd. On the win platfom I heard it had some problems with sync - ie it will give occasional glitches to the output/input, like it's slipping. Afaict, its been the most simple audio thing to setup - install drivers (asio and soundmanager on mac) asio on win I think - check out emagic.de - and go. Have had no problems with it except that it needs a powered port, and can cause some crashes apparently if it doesn't get enough power.

Hi list,

I remember a post a few month ago concerning problems running pd with a tascam usb-audio interface. I'm thinking about buying a usb audio interface (emagic emi 26) because I need 4 channel audio out with a laptop. Are there any known problems with this or other usb interfaces in general (when used with pd under Win98SE)? Any suggestions what to buy (instead)? - The laptop has no firewire, that's why I have to take usb... ;-(
