Audio works here, only thing that still appears to be a bit difficult is to make anything default EXCEPT whatever built-in audio your system has. I've not found that easy with Windows, either, since Windows seems to assume that every program you run on it wants to use the same default sound hardware ... >> I guess we don't get those questions so much anymore, because there are >> fewer and fewer users all the time.

I've watch the hoops that a Windows-using friend of mine has gone through trying to make a single MIDI device (a keyboard) work with Windows and his Delta 1010LT - even with professional help from Musicians Friend who set it all up for him.
