I purchased this item for a full $55 less than it was listed at on the M-Audio website, so it's a great deal here. The product works very well; I was upgrading from my old M-Audio mobile-pre, and I'm very satisfied with the design changes and the functionality of this new version. The sound is crisper and clearer than the Mobile-Pre was. The unit itself feels physically solid and sturdy, and the knobs are much better. I'm very satisfied.

This is an awesome DAC and interface for the price. It sounds wonderful with a good pair of studio monitors or cans with an added amplifier. The inputs pick up well too.As for the ISSUES and PROBLEMS people have had in the past, as other positive reviewers have pointed out, they were most likely buffering or computer issues. There is a method to setting these things up because firewire is a different beast than USB.Here is the method for installing:1. Install drivers.2. Turn off computer.3. Connect. Then turn on device.4. Turn on computer and it should spring up the software mixer.Then here is how I turn on and turn off my computer:1. Connect device. Turn it on. (When I turn my computer off I leave my FW410 connected and on.)2. Turn on computer.3. Turn on speakers and MAKE SURE SLEEP IS TURNED OFF FOR YOUR COMPUTER. ALSO DON"T CLOSE YOUR LAPTOP.To turn off computer:1. Turn off speakers.2. Power down.Hopefully this helps. This interface should not have all these bad reviews. I usually don't write reviews, but this definitely needed another positive one.

I have purchased this unit in 2006. It has not gotten a lot of use over this time period, but when it does get used it does a great job. I have been using it more often within the last 4-5 months since I purchased a new mac book, and pro-tools m-powered 8. I must say that connected to pro-tools, and with the latest drivers installed, this unit runs very smooth. You don't even need to refer to the 410s digital mixer. It is as simple as plug and play. I recognize there is a lot of negative reviews; however, some of this may be due to other recording software and incompatibility issues. I'm not really sure. I do know that with pro-tools 8, The sound quality is very good, and I am extremely happy with the results.Only 1 quirk...On few occasions; after booting up pro-tools, the unit does not output sound. To remedy this, I would soft boot the computer, re-start pro-tools and be on my way.

I have both a Firewire 410 and a USB Line 6 UX2. The 410 is far superior. I am using with an old 1st generation Intel Mac Mini, and the 410 is connected via NewerTech MiniStack -- not directly into the Mac. I read the instructions before installing the 410 and it has worked flawlessly ever since. I regularly hot-swap and daisy-chain WD external hard drives into the 410 firewire port and have had no trouble. I output from Mac via my Benchmark DAC1 rather than the 410 because of its superior DAC. However, I do connect the 410's analog outputs to the multi-channel inputs of my Rotel processor when mixing 5.1 surround. I only recently upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and had no troubles with either the 410 or UX2.My only concern now is that I plan to upgrade to the new Mini which only has Firewire 800. I'm hoping that a 400-800 adapter will work with the 410.

First, the good things about this interface:When it's working, it is a great unit. Sound is clean, and I love all the inputs and outputs. The software is pretty good, and gives you a lot of options for routing and tweaking. Notice I said the software is good, not the drivers.The Bad:As I said, "when it's working", which is actually not very often. If you plan to dual-boot between Mac and Windows, forget this unit. Every time you boot into OSX, it will pause to upgrade the firmware, then you have about a 50/50 chance of it working, and if it doesn't, you'll have to reboot. Then, you have about an 80/20 chance of it working. When you boot into Windows again later, it probably won't get recognized. You'll be greeted with a flashing blue light that says the unit won't connect. Then you have to reboot. If you're lucky, it will actually work on the second or third reboot into Windows. Are you starting to get the picture?Now, with most units, this wouldn't be a big problem. You could just unplug it and replug it, and the computer would recognize it. Except that if you "hot-plug" the 410, meaning plug it in while the computer is running, you will most likely fry your firewire port, making it inoperable for ANY firewire device. Check the support documents on M-Audio's site and you'll see that they know about this issue, and they warn you against it.So now we have a unit that not only won't connect about 50-70% of the time, but you can't unplug and replug it, which is the most common fix for this problem. Sounds like a winning combination, doesn't it?As if this wasn't enough fun, I just started having an issue where Logic seems to disconnect this unit altogether. Whenever I try to play anything in Logic, the unit disconnects, and no audio will play in ANY program from that point on. This COULD be a problem with Logic, and it could be something I did, but given this unit's reputation for problems, I'm inclined to place the blame there.M-Audio's quality used to be pretty good, but in the last few years, they just can't get their act together at all. Drivers are terrible, they STILL don't have Vista drivers for most of the products over a year later, and their products seem to just get cheaper and cheaper all the time.Stay far away from this unit. Don't be lured in by the extra outputs. You can get much better quality for the same price, and if you need all the outputs, just spend a little more for a better brand.

This is by far the worst firewire interface I've had. Worked relatively well for around six months, albeit with occasional blips and pops, and then suddenly died. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Do yourself a favor and buy one of the other inexpensive interfaces out there, or save up a bit more money and buy something like a MOTU, you will just throw your money away with this one.

I'm a big fan of this audio interface, M-Audio just did everything right here. Very stable, works great on Windows 7 - 64 bit, works wonderful on Sonar 8 and now they finally released proper drivers to make it work on Pro Tools in Windows 64 bit. You have to make sure you download the beta drivers though.

I have had two different units (and access to a third for a short time), I used them with three different computers (all macs: a PowerMac G4, PowerMac G5, and a PowerBook G4), and I had loads of problems with every configuration. The units were a bit temperamental and I sometimes had to restart the computer to get them to work properly. As mentioned in other posts, these units are not hot-pluggable and doing so could render the computer, the FW410, or possibly other connected firewire devices permanently disabled. This is particularly a problem since firewire cables have no mechanism to be locked in place--like thumb screws--and they can easily become accidentally unplugged. I called M-Audio and they really tried to shrug this off as if it was no big deal although the FW410 comes with an urgent warning sticker covering the firewire ports that tells you not to hot plug. In fact, I personally know of one computer where the logic board was fried due to the FW410 being unplugged and plugged back in while the computer was on.Also mentioned in other posts is the FW410's propensity not to play well with other firewire devices, particularly firewire 800 devices. I can attest to this. On my PowerMac G5, I had the FW410 as the only device on the firewire 400 bus and I had an Iomega FW drive plugged into the FW800 bus. Everytime I would restart my computer I would have to make sure that I turned my speakers off because of the loud popping and clicking noises that would happen when the Iomega drive was plugged in. I'm not really good at remembering things like that and I believe that this is what blew one of my M-Audio BX5a powered monitors (which, by the way, I like). To back up my computer to the Iomega drive, I would have to shut my computer off, unplug the FW410, then restart my computer and back up. Otherwise, I would get those horrendous (and loud) popping and clicking noises, or the FW410 would become disabled and I would have to restart anyway to get it back.You're probably wondering why I had two of these units. Well, the first one became stopped working and, fortunately, it was under warranty and M-Audio sent me a new one (though I was without music for over a month). I thought my problems might have been due to a faulty unit but the second one was no better. I had all the problems described above (and others...yes, there was more) with different versions of the drivers (up to 1.8.1) even after reinstalling the drivers many times. I always thought the problems were just my setup until I did more research. I should point out that I am using Macs and everything may work perfectly with PCs, YMMV.I own other M-Audio products (the aforementioned BX5a powered monitors and an M-Audio keyboard) and I have had no problem with either of those. One thing that I didn't like about M-Audio is that their tech support made it seem like I was the ONLY user that is having problems with this product. As for my FW410, you can look for it on eBay (it's only a couple of months old).At this point, I have just unplugged the FW410 because I am in fear for my system. After further research, I'm probably going to buy a PreSonus Firebox. This unit seems to work well with Macs, is hot pluggable, and six simultaneous inputs are possible unlike the FW410 in which only two simultaneous inputs are possible (despite the name).

I've owned one of these for several years. When it works, and for what it works for, it works well. However there are many problems:1. M-Audio says the device must be first on the Firewire chain (a ridiculous requirement) and that you shouldn't hot-plug it (an absurd restriction).2. If you do try hot-plugging it and you manage to not burn out your FW interface, as some here have reported has happened, you'll find you need to reboot your machine anyway. Windows will not recognize this device upon hot plugging, only when it reboots. I've had many other Firewire devices and this is the only one that behaves this way.Any Firewire device that can't be hot plugged, to say nothing of one that shouldn't be hot plugged, is "broken as designed." M-Audio has no business selling any such gadget, and the FireWire consortium or whatever it is that controls that trademark should have forbidden M-Audio to use the "FireWire" name and logo on this product.3. S/PDIF coax input basically doesn't work. Sometimes it locks to the incoming signal, sometimes not. If it does lock it usually doesn't stay locked for long. Yes, I've tried different settings of the sync source and rate. It doesn't help.4. S/PDIF optical input isn't much better. Even through a mere six foot Toslink cable. This is, btw, with other S/PDIF devices that work fine with everything else.5. As someone else noted, that assignable knob on the front panel sometimes -- often -- loses its assignment, and you have to go into the control panel software and re-assign it. Needless to say this is a PITA.M-Audio should have recalled these devices and given (yes, GIVEN) all owners an updated version that fixes these problems.

I've had mine for several years. It worked for maybe 3-4 months and then it blue-screened my laptop and it hasn't worked since. I thought it was my laptop, so tried it on a new Sony laptop. Dead. Contacted customer support, who had me try several things and then concluded that it was an "interrupt problem" with my firewire port, suggesting I change the interrupt. Not gonna risk messing up my primary work laptop so I didn't go there. Then got a brand new MacBook Pro, figuring it has to work on a Mac. Dead as a doornail, even the Mac OS wouldn't recognize it. All it does is blink, showing that it is getting power.It's easy to blame problems on the software, on configuration, on the laptop for months and months until the thing is out of warranty and then find out it was the interface all along. Now it's just a very expensive ($500 back when I bought it) doorstop.

I'm changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars.Now that my 410 is working, it's great, but it doesn't get better than 3 stars because of all the problems I had in getting it there.This is what I said before it was fixed:"I've tried getting this blasted thing to work for the past 9 months, hoping a new driver would magically fix the problem. All I get is a blue blinking light. I've read all the online advice. Nothing works, including my 410. Stay away from this product."I went back and forth with the M-Audio tech support in order to get this thing to go. The bottom line is this: The 410 is a good product when it's set up correctly, but it is really particular about how it's set up.Here's the trick ... The 410 MUST be the first FireWire device that your computer sees. I don't understand why, but it's true. Also, you cannot connect and/or disconnect it while the computer is powered up. This all brings back the most annoying aspects of the old SCSI daisy chain issues. A real step backwards.Once you understand all that, the thing works great.

I've owned the 410 for a few years now and I don't think it's ever worked 100%. Numerous live shows have almost been canceled due this temperamental little beast. I would not wish this thing on my worst enemy! I recommend the RME Fireface series, they're expensive but worth it, totally professional, never had a problem.

I bought this thing about a month ago since it seemed perfect for my needs (portable, multiple outs, mic pre-amps and compatibility with ProTools). Unfortunately I regret it every time I use it. I've heard the stories from Mac users having problems but I'm a PC user and am experiencing them as well. As I speak the little signal light is on for no good reason and seems to be stuck.First off, the device has no OS pre-loaded. It's loaded when you start up Windows/OSX and this in itself causes problems. I spend a good deal of time unplugging, turning on/off the unit trying to get it to unload it's OS so you can reload it and your computer can see it (this is also why it's not compatible with Linux and never will be).One big annoyance with this unit is it's constant blinking (super bright) blue LED when the unit is off. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. When it's off it shouldn't be screaming at you I think. I use it in my bedroom so I always have to unplug it in addition to powering off. Which seems to be better anyway as every time I leave it powered on and shut down my computer I have to go through a unplug-turn-on/off ritual to get it recognized again.The drivers are also pretty horrible. I upgraded my drivers to the latest version after it was recommended and now every time I try to turn the volume up or down the M-Audio control panel freezes. Anyway the whole things saddens me.I think I should have tried the Presonus FBOX 6X10 Firewire Recording Interface instead.On the other hand, when it does work, I'm using Windows, and I don't have to change the volume the sound quality is good, the portability is nice and I'm enjoying the ten outs.

The product worked decently for about 3 months. The mic inputs never sounded great. Suddenly, for no reason, it stopped initializing on startup. Now the extremely bright LED light just blinks. While this is good for party time in the computer room it is not good for recording songs. Buy something more reliable.

I have worked on ProTools HD for 6 years at a studio. I needed something at home that was small yet flexible. So, I bought ProTools M-Powered with a M-Audio Firewire 410. It is small yet still really flexible. There is a little latency with my setup, I think it is more computer related, but if you know what you are doing it is not a problem.

I bought this device because of its price and feature-set. Having the option of running Pro Tools LE (M-Powered) was part of the appeal. I haven't tested all the line outs or the S/PDIF ports, but over the last couple months everything else so far has worked fine. I haven't tried using the power adapter either, since mine is powered via Firewire. The front and rear inputs can't be used simultaneously (I knew this when bought it), but it would be a great improvement.M-Audio warns not to engage in Firewire hot-plugging with this unit. I've heard about this with other Firewire devices (without manufacturer's warnings) from other musicians, so I have no problem with this advice.The only thing needing improvement is the driver software. It *never* loads after a cold boot, only after a warm boot (restart). Also, it seems to unset a couple of my preferred settings (although they still *look* like they are set) after certain applications have used it, which I didn't see documented, so I assume this is a bug. This might be because I have it connected to the computer through a Firewire hub.Unlike Digidesign interfaces, it allows several applications to simultaneously use its features, which Digidesign interfaces only allow when Pro Tools is not running, and even then in a somewhat simplistic manner. However, I've found Digidesign's drivers for their interfaces are quite stable. I'm OK with the trade-off.Rock-solid drivers and simultaneous use of the front and rear inputs would earn it five stars.

I got this card about 2 weeks ago, to use with music software. I use mostly Protools M-powered and Finale. The card is excellent when it works, but it is the buggiest hardware I have ever used. Sometimes it does not turn on when I start the computer. This requires shutting down, unplugging everything from the card, and restarting the computer. There are alot of excellent cards out there, I would recomend getting a different one than this.

I've used my 410 on two different Macbooks (with different processor speeds) and a Macbook Pro and haven't had any problems at all. Just make sure to install the drivers from the M-Audio website and not the ones that come with the installation cd. I can't speak for older Macs though.
