Well I'd say it's time to look at alternatives.

thanks for the responce guys but u've broken my spirit, thing is its a
awesome card acourding to the specs and the website they even say its
compatible with windows 7. I have a windows 7 system and don't have any more
money to spend on a card so what am i to do now?
Well it depends, on some system the issue is noticeable right away, while
others it only starts in after a few mins of recording or after a few
recording sessions etc. The issue is not with playback, it's with input. I
was thinking i might keep the card since it is stable and solid with
extremely low latency when it comes to playback, i can use it for soft synth
playback etc. IDK yet.
D!J!X!

I have this same card and the little recording I did with it sounded alright
I guess but it wasn't much and it was when I had the kurzweil pc2 which I
have since returned. We're in the middle of trying to sell or lease this
house and find a bigger place so for right now, a new keyboard is in the
waiting for a bit.
I read pretty good reviews on this card as well and since I got mine used
from someone on craigslist, there's no returning it. Even when I get a new
board, a dedicated recording pc won't be in the works for maybe another year
or so which means that I'll just use the setup I have here. Perhaps in that
time something better will come along in terms of external sound cards but
we'll see.

Unfortunately that's something I've been discovering on systems that i've
built for clients and on my own system. Now I'm getting rid of my perfectly
fine delta1010lt, because m-audio refuses to fix whatever issues are
plaguing their newest drivers for windows7, which on most modern systems
introduce this horrible sounds. There are some work arounds which may or may
not work, but they're not recommendable for everyone, and it should be fixed
at the root of the problem, now with extraneous work arounds... Supposedly
it has something to do with the way it buffers between the application and
the memory. That's the only response we've gotten from m-audio. No word on a
fix and if they'll even make 1. So any xp users who want a nice interface
who are still using not-so-recent hardware, if you want a delta1010lt in
perfectly working condition, let me know!
HTH, D!J!X!

Very interesting.
I have playback on my M-Audio just fine, but when I plug in my myk and
record, it's scratchy and not very good. Sad smile emoticon With my vista,
the same thing, great for playback and recording, but it would just randomly
stop working after a while.
Is this the Audio Interface you're talking about?

Yes. M-Audio used to be well known for rock solid drivers. Strangely enough,
they?re now notorious for terrible drivers.
M-Audio is no longer a company. M-Audio was purchased a few years back by
Avid. Avid now uses M-Audio as a trade name for multimedia products that
they make for low-cost consumer applications. That?s why older M-Audio
product seem quite a bit more premium than the million varieties of cheaply
built plastic junk that they sell now. Unfortunately, even the older gear
needs newer drivers to work with newer versions of Windows. Avid doesn?t
seem to feel that it is a priority to support gear that they no longer sell.
Besides, they aren?t worried about M-Audio?s professional reputation, since
pros wouldn?t buy any of their current gear. They only care that casual
purchasers at local computer stores will recognize the M-Audio name, and
will make their $150 impulse purchase of a M-Audio plastic thing over their
competitor?s $150 plastic thing. M-Audio was good competition for Avid,
anyway, so killing off M-Audio?s better product lines and eating through
their reputation only helps them out.
Sorry to say that there aren?t hardly any good, inexpensive, and accessible
interfaces out now. The great buy, for quality and accessibility, at the
moment, are the Mackie Onyx mixers. The 820I is $400, and certainly isn?t
little/portable, though. It would be fine at home, but not for carrying
around with a laptop. Maybe one of the Edirol interfaces would work for dirt
cheap ($100), but be prepared to go through a bit of accessibility
frustration.

The fasttrack pro works very well with windows XP if you load up the
included drivers. However, with vista is is rubbish. I suspect their new
update drivers are rubbish for windos 7 as well.
