multi outputs have always worked for me , in win2000 & winXP , check the emagic site for driverupdates if yours doesn'tthis interface with WInXP doesn't work correctly.... you can't use the multi outputs.
And it sounds crap imho.
Btw ,
1) what kind of latencies do you get with your emi26?
No matter what PC i use , I can't go below 14 ms without sounddrops , even on relative basic songs.
2) did anyone ever manage to get the emi26 to work correctly in cubase/logic/tracktion? I always get distortion/latency problems and in Tracktion the sound even slows down when I use the mouse???? Only ableton works fine.
