Anyone one used one of these AKAI EIEs?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_i=468294

The reviews are terrible via Amazon but some of the online reviews have been pretty good.

Im looking for a replacement for my DMX 6fire which has served me pretty well but the lack of official Win7 support has sadly killed it.

My requirements are pretty slim, i just want something that can take a mic or midi keyboard at reasonable quality and output to some monitor speakers.

I have one of these and it worked great until I upgraded to Windows 7 and beyond. Now it has failed me and started spewing digital noise at every live show I've played for months. It works with two hardware setups I have but with any other setup it's trash. I came in this thread just now to look to see what I might replace it with. I'm really gonna miss the built-in USB hub but I am done with having it poo poo on me during a live set.

I bought a MOTU MicroBook II to replace my Akai EIEIO, but I get crazy pops and crackles on both my desktop and laptop with it. I just want a sound card that works. Does anyone have one of those. Augh.

Possibly another case of USB3 compatibility problems? Do the crackles go away at longer latency settings? Latest firmware? Tried a USB2 port?

My desktop only has USB2 ports and my laptop only has USB3 ports. Latest firmware, tried all latency settings. It was briefly stable at 512 on the laptop but only briefly.

I sold my FW Ultralite years ago because it did the same thing.
