The Creative E-MU 1212 Sound Card is absolutely ridiculous to set up. The drivers will not install because the program will not detect the hardware. I have had the card for 4 days and have read every forum on the net to rectify the problem. It seems many people have experienced this if they have updated to the new drivers. If you had owned it before, you're lucky because you can still use the old drivers. Try finding them now.

This card is ridiculous. I must be stupid to have purchased it in the first place. I was after a quality card and for $314.00 from brisbane australia thought it would be great HUH what a nightmare. DON'T BUY IT! Can not understand the DSP mixer and the bloody thing doesn't work properly and of cause you can't send it back because of the software. I'm a professional in sound and can't figure it out so what would an amature think. The manufacturers of this card obviously know very little about audio recording it's so difficult to set up that is if it really can be set up. My God what were they thinking of when they designed it, it sure beats me, what a mess.

Hardware is top notch...Included effects are POTENTIALLY top notch....The drivers and patchmix app are absolutly awful. So, until the issues are resolved this top notch chunk of hardware is little more than paper weight (but my fingers are crossed...waiting).
