i think many people have problems with the audiophile because there going hotplugging and stuff....
maybe when used 100% correctly there are no problems?
m-audio admitted the issues two

i got mine working with the older driver available on their website. there's better out there but if you're on a budget I'd do a little more research. I wish the 12" had a pcmcia slot for a hammerfall.

but isn't it so that people that don't know that you can't hotplug etc (use there system not correctly) get problems? i won't mind this 'problem', as long as it is the only thing and my system won't crash and stuff (when used correctly
)...

no.....m-audio drivers are crap, hotwiring wasnt the issue. they are not a reliable for mac, only very few have had very few problems..
my advice, stay well clear if you are serious about your setup and dont want to waste time and effort.
would you rather use your creative time looking for answers to problems or writing tracks?
