E-Mu 0404

[Daij]

Recently replaced XP with Windows 7. I was using a E-MU 0404 PCI soundcard and mixer, but not it won't work. Wondering if anyone out there knows if drivers are compatible with Windows 7, and is there a solution. Downloaded drivers from the site, but still doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

It looks like you're out of luck. The filter options at the foot of this page only offer Windows XP, Vista and 2000:

However you're not the first person to have experienced this problem and it seems that going into the BIOS to enable the device might possibly work:

>>>This is a Company of good repute

. . . but also one that states "The product you have selected has been classified as 'End of Service Life'. "
(See my first link above). That strongly suggests that they've no interest in developing new drivers for the product.

Thanks. I'd better get a new recording package.
