I just can't live without my E-MU 0404
Its a creative "profesional" sub-brand.
Never had driver issues.
I really mean NEVER.
but I'm always up to date with the drivers. I bought the card several years ago. Maybe like 5 years. So I had it on my XP, my Vista, and my Seven. No wait, I didn't jump to Seven yet
but I had it installed once. No problem with the card, and still works.
I do video production (analog captures from long plays, cassettes, and video cassettes all formats). I also compose music.
Music reproduction on the E-MU is THE THING, my hi fi stereo system is happy. So Iam. Not so good for gaming I'm affraid
