The answer to your question of whether your Mia Midi soundcard will work is: Probably, but no guarantees. Generally, we have a recommendation that you use either the M-Audio Delta 44 or the PreSonus FireBox as shown on our specifications page. We also support several consumer cards such as the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, and several Creative Labs cards as well, though they don't perform as well as the professional grade cards mentioned above. The real question is whether your card will work as well as our recommended cards. I don't have a Mia card, so I don't know for sure, but without 4 in and 4 out, it is hard to compete with our recommended cards performance/feature wise. The nice thing is that you don't have to buy our radio to figure this one out. Download our software today and give it a shot. You will need to use the "Unsupported Card" selection on the Setup Form -> Audio Tab. You may need to use ASIO4ALL (third party program) if your card does not have native ASIO drivers. Good luck and let us know if you get stuck.
