Note that Mackie claims driver support for this product only through Win
7 (Win 8 is specifically not supported which may imply Win 10 isn't,
either), and MacOS through 10.10 (Yosemite) -- later MacOS releases are
specifically not supported.
Which doesn't mean it won't work, but this is from the Mackie website a
few minutes ago.
Anyone here tested this interface on these later OSes? Be good to
confirm before I click on the order button before the sale ends in a few
hours... I already have a good USB sound interface that won't work on
later-than-XP OSes (not sure about Mac).

Hi Josh,
Yes, this is a super deal. Mackie is a good audio company. I've used
and specified their products for years. I've been out of the biz for
long enough that I didn't know about this one.

Completely agree re ext USB audio.
No specific endorsement of this model, just an example that there are
many high quality (I'd call this "prosumer") USB interfaces for
remarkably low prices. Mackie is a well respected pro audio company &
this interface on sale $69. Might have to get or make patch cables as
it's 1/4" phone.

Considering the availability of pro quality for comparable prices,
I'd opt for something like this or from other similar companies like
Tascam, etc (see K9YC's list) over a consumer Sound Blaster.

FWIW ... I do a lot of JT65/JT9/FT8 digital, and I would definitely
suggest getting an external USB soundcard for such work.
1. It eliminates the probably of transmitting any OS
sounds/beeps/alarms along with your digital audio.
2. Provides good isolation capabilities
3. While I'm assuming most built-in laptop soundcards can provide
the 48kHz DVD quality playback/recording you need for programs like
WSJT-X, you definitely will have that in many of the external
soundcards. I use a Sound Blaster SBX proaudio soundcard I got a
Amazon for around $60-65. I've used it with my IC-715, and KX3
without any issues.
